A great podcast! Nick asks ALL the right questions and has a no-nonsense approach to the topics. But…Think it’s time to come out of the wardrobe or wherever it’s recorded.
I’m surrounded by well meaning, but naive liberals. It’s such a relief to hear from someone with journalistic experience and perspective to call things out for what they are…
The most original and thought-provoking podcast on current UK politics.
No, not one of the best, the best.
Still the best of all the political podcasts
One of the best political journalists in the UK, excellent choice of guests too.
Somebody needs to sort out either his microphone or microphone technique though.
If you like Nicks writing then you’ll definitely enjoy this, subscribe and you won’t miss an episode, in fact even though many episodes are topical, most are about issues so fundamental that it’s worth going back and listening to previous episodes in the channel, Ann Applebaum in this week and as good as ever
