- Good show…
…covering all the big stories in UK media. I wish it were on more often! Perhaps the producers might think of branching out and taking a view on English language media overseas.

United Kingdom3 years ago - Interesting but very one-sided unfortunately
Been listening for years and years since it’s roots as Guardian podcast. Interesting and topical though, unfortunately, tends to be always a one-sided discussion with only left leaning point of view with anything centre ground or right views not included to add more diversity and contrast - and more “sparky”. It would be a richer discussion and update with a more diverse discussion and points of view. I think the only non-left guests ever was an ex-Culture Minister and then only an interview.
