- Problem with subscription
I’ve paid my money every month but for at least a week each month I am denied access to the bonus episodes etc. There is no rhyme or reason to this either. One day I’m classed as a member then the next I’m not. Love the podcast but this is beginning to put me off. Sort it out please RIH.

This is my favourite podcast, and every time an advertisement appears for Amazon a part of me dies. Surely there are enough businesses out there that you do not rely on Bezos.

Australia9 days ago - Bloody Sunday
Thanks for the great podcast guys. Have enjoyed so many of them. Recently, while listening to the Bloody Sunday episode I was surprised to hear you refer to Douglas Murray as ‘extremely right wing’. And in the context he was speaking against the British soldiers due to their lies. Plus any other time I’ve heard him speak he sounded the most sensible on the panel. I’m wondering what the beef might be there 🤔 Competition between historians? 😂 Anyhow, thanks again for the podcasts, really enjoyab... more
Apple Podcasts5Faith, love and hope.United Kingdom9 days ago - Anthropic ad? Bye
Beyond disappointed to hear you guys doing ads for anthropic. The question in the ad “how can we ensure this goes well for everyone?” We can’t. beyond that we can ensure that it goes poorly for most. The head of every single ai company predicts catastrophic damage to jobs and livelihoods across the world, those are the people who want AI to succeed the most and that’s their version. Looking forward to numerous and ripoffs of your podcast soon enough

I’d give it 5 stars if it weren’t for the goofy, unfunny and distracting quote reading at the top.
