United Kingdoma month ago - Best comedy political pod
I have always been a fan of Matt’s and I guess I always will be. His comedy, quick thinking and niche references are right up my street. My political views and his would not align. I really don't care and don't think it's a consideration. His knowledge of political history helps him get the most from his guests.
The only criticism of this pod is that the guests are becoming more and more obscure.
There's one thing I'd like to add. No matter who the guest is, how big they are or have been, rega... more

Sometimes I think about skipping episodes because I’m not keen on the politician or an hour+ seems like a big commitment, but I never regret listening. Matt is able to get very relaxed interviews out of big political heavyweights. A must for anyone interested in UK politics. (But please sort out the sound! It’s been muffled for years.)
Apple Podcasts5Hatchen22United Kingdom2 months ago - Audio.....

The last episode with Michael Gove was one of the latest... more
