  • 3 * for Richard alone, for the bits where he doesn't get constantly cut off or just talked over. Richard isn't over opinionated either. Have stopped listening due to this despite the often very interested content as its too frustrating

  • Murder

    Have I missed it, or will there be a review of the film The Thursday Murder Club? Would love to hear what Richard thinks of a film murdering his book.

  • What a disappointment!

    Oh dear! Ohhh dear! I selected this podcast because I found Richard so entertaining and funny on the quiz show he did with that other English guy. But this turns out to be less about ‘entertainment’ and more about politics - and with a very clear anti-Trump bias😟 Marina, especially, needs to check her prejudices and stick to verifiable fact - not opinion. She’s a journalist, right?
