- Abit preachy at times
Jon needs to calm down quite abit, and provide a more objective information service. Emily is tip top. Lewis is a little prone to his emotions too. I continue to listen.

United Kingdoma month ago - Great but don’t assume we want to listen to Sports Agents or Coining It
I really enjoy listening to the Newsagent…highly informative and brilliant hosts however please stop forcing Coining it and Sports agent on us. I didn’t subscribe to them or follow and don’t want to see them in my list of podcasts .
Apple Podcasts454321RainbowUnited Kingdoma month ago - Neil Kinnock
It’s always a pleasure to hear him speak so this was a treat for me especially the initial focus on my home city Liverpool and militant tendency. A man of integrity and intellect and clearly a devoted husband. It might be true that he’s the greatest prime minister we never had.
Apple Podcasts5Betty@DavisUnited Kingdoma month ago - Decent but preachy
It’s good and well informed but many episodes, especially recently feel like John and Alex are preaching to their audience. John in particular feels like he has 30 years of pent up rage and frustration. Emily, is as ever, really great, always keeps it professional.
Apple Podcasts3ga2409United Kingdoma month ago - Lacking Humanity at times
For so long I’ve enjoyed listening to this podcast but the absence of truth and reporting over the genocide in Gaza has left me unable to listen to it anymore. Everything is said through a lens that is sympathetic to Israel - this is never critiqued or explored further to the level the situation deserves. They defend Israel regardless and frequently conflate Judaism and Zionism to suite their own world view. It is intellectually dishonest and has become impossible to listen to.
