  • It’s a good podcast

    It’s a good podcast, with excellent guests, and he is a thoughtful interviewer. Not sure why people who don’t like his style not only keep listening, but also take the time to negatively rate and comment.

    Update: it’s much better without the pesky airline adverts. Keep going Louis!!

  • Awful

    This guy lacks the basic skills of challenging the guest with a contrary position. Embarrassingly awful podcast and presenter.

  • v dissapointed

    have been a listener for years, but v dissapointed to hear, entirely unchallenged, that ours is a white supremacist country- and in general to give bob vylan the opportunity to share, again, unchallenged, his hate-filled rhetoric. I know Louis' style is to let people say what they want- but on this one, he has badly let himself down. done.
