  • Pity

    I’ve never heard such a combination of arrogance, patronisation, incoherence and self contradiction as I did on 3/11/25. The use of irrelevant quotes and the frequency of same further undermines Chris’ credibility. l like the show generally but self reflection is required here big time

  • Wouldn’t miss an episode

    I’ve been listening to The Other Hand for a while now and I just love it. The mix of the guy from Waterford and the Welsh guy works so well — they’re smart, funny, and straight-talking. I really like the way they handle criticism and still stay diplomatic, and the content is always genuinely interesting. It’s one I look forward to every week.
