  • 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, Ann Applebaum in this week and as good as ever

    So pleased to have found Nick Cohen! Have missed him at the Observer and just listened to conversation with Sunder. Really good discussion it felt like being at the dining table with them after a good lunch. So much clarity and good sense I hope the Labour Party strategists (if there are any) were listening
