  • Net Zero what???

    I usually like this podcast but I seriously wonder about the latest one on Net Zero, basically using the podcast’s reputation for relatively balanced debate to platform a one sided lobbying exercise by professional members of the Net Zero industry

  • Usually good

    Ooh lads, that Palantir episode was pretty insufferably smug - spending 20 minutes talking about how crazy it is that some people don’t know who they are, rather than actually offering an introduction, comes off really badly.

  • Used to be genuinely informative

    Used to be my fave podcast as would actually go into policy details rather than just discussing surface opinions of the government. Recently has moved to be like any other simply calling the government bad at messaging and providing no analysis or context beyond that. I can tell they’re bad at messaging myself, and this used to be the place to find out what was actually going on instead. Oh well, I guess it’s more popular to just moan about messaging.

    Also the free ride Your Party seem to be ge... more

  • Bring back Marr!

    This is probably the best UK daily politics podcast out there and I genuinely think that all of the regulars are very good and very engaging, but none of them can quite match the lifelong experience and insight as a political reporter that Andrew Marr brings.

  • Soft interview

    Blimey! I have heard some soft interviews in my 64 years but Megan Kenyon’s interview of Jeremy Corbyn takes the art form to new levels. I realise that the NS is a left leaning publication but that was a worthless interview. I don’t advocate a hostile interview style but Corbyn was not even mildly pressed on any of his views, many of which are highly contentious within the political left. I expect more of a magazine with the reputation of the New Staesman.
