  • Dreadful

    Please replace Ms White, she’s absolutely awful. Loves the sound of her voice & thinks only her opinion matters

  • Sussex Fanfic Disguised as Royal Podcast

    Completely biased and soft on the Sussexes whilst pretending journalistic neutrality (or so Chris Ship claims).

    The hosts bend over backwards to defend the indefensible presenting misleading “facts” and false equivalencies that any reasonable person can debunk in seconds. If you want honest royal analysis, look elsewhere.

  • Worth a listen

    They obviously do a good job in covering the events, although I would like to hear a little more from Lizzie and maybe Chris can stop interrupting her so much.

  • Charlene ruins the podcast

    Chris and Lizzie have it covered, Charlene rambles on and is rude to guests and her co hosts. It’s unbecoming.
