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!
I listen to this most days and find it a great listen and extremely informative. I also really like the NS team - smart and funny. Anoosh’ laugh is one of my favourite parts, it really does sound like a team enjoying their jobs and it always come away having learned something but also having enjoyed the experience. Keep up the great work team!
Really poor and highly partisan.
I’ve been listening for some time as a left-wing alternative to the Spectator podcast, but have now unsubscribed. It’s not just a different perspective, it’s a different character of reporting entirely. I’d recommend the Private Eye podcast instead - largely the same points but without the self-important tone of voice, and better-informed.
