  • Expensive

    Love this podcast but it began as part of the TRIP UK subscription and then some episodes were not available without a separate subscription. I am not comfortable with the way listeners were lulled into this so I won’t be subscribing.

  • Informative and interesting

    I just love this combination and have learnt so much about American politics. The affectionate teasing has really settled in and it's my favourite part of the week when I can shut my bedroom door and listen in peace.
