  • Great content, shoddy editing

    Cohen and guests are terrific, but FFS, no other podcast keeps cutting to ad breaks literally halfway through a damn sentence every bloody time.

    Fix that and it’s five stars.

  • Consistently Terrific

    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

  • A good listen

    It's always a good listen and the conversations are usually very interesting. I think Nick interrupts a little too much and the constant reintroduction of whoever the guest is, after every ad break, becomes a little tiresome. But all in all a good listen.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tough love but is Labour lost?
Q: Are they starting to issue some threats to the Whips?
Yeah, they're absolutely miserable, and they're telling the Whips so, and very distraught.
Tough love but is Labour lost?
Q: What taxes should they raise?
I think a wealth tax would be a good idea.
Tough love but is Labour lost?
Q: Polly, do you think this is not a very Labour thing to do? Do you think this is not a very Labour government?
It doesn't seem to be at the moment. They seem to have been crushed by Treasury orthodoxy.
Farage's treason choice - King Don or the UK?
Q: Does he seem this kind of enfeebled figure to you or what could he do?
I think he has called a few things right, particularly regarding the far-right riots, but there's still much to navigate.
Farage's treason choice - King Don or the UK?
Q: Do you find my introduction too catastrophic?
Not necessarily catastrophic, as the EU is beginning to get its act together around defense, which is a positive sign.
