  • Come on guys

    I force myself to listen to this as a counterpoint to the Spectator podcast. But come on guys will you just say what you really think already? You’re journalists not politicians. You seem reasonably intelligent and well informed, but whenever logic leads you to an uncomfortable conclusion, you start the nervous laughter, hedging and summoning up ludicrous right wing straw men before you move on, leaving the conclusion unsaid. I want to take you seriously but it's hard.

  • Crime stats UK

    Early this morning I listened to your podcast about the arrest of ex-prince Andrew..and l’m laughing. Lovely. The BBC mentioned first royal arrest in three hundred years..as though the royals have been crime free for 300 years. And don’t get me started on ‘working royals’.

  • Needs more polish

    Discussion subjects are always interesting but some of the hosts need a little more coaching, lots of umms and errrs from the guy make for an irritating listen

  • Can be superb but Dugmore is a complete switch off

    Usually topical and superb quality Tom, Anoosh and Ailbhe are great with great insight. Oli Dugmore is as boring as he is entitled and soon as I know it’s him it’s an instant switch off & delete

    Some of the NS podcasts are OK, but the one I half listened to today (Andy Burnham & Suella Braverman) had my least favourite presenter/guest who demonstrates the most appalling vocal fry, making her sound like an awful California Valley Girl. It makes my throat ache to listen to it and whenever this person is on, I have to give up after a few minutes. BTW, in German NS is another way of saying National Socialist, so I’m always careful not to let anyone see the logo when I listen to you!

David Lammy on the crisis abroad and within Labour
