Australiaa month ago - The Royals: Disappointing
I’m not sure why I keep tuning into this podcast. I am always disappointed that when the presenters pose really good penetrating questions they always answer them with a melange of speculation and hypotheses that anyone with half a brain can work out for themselves. The allure of the subject is infinite but it’s a shame this podcast never tells you anything you didn’t know already.

United Kingdoma month ago - British press is Harsh
I’m finding it quite fascinating how the British press including this podcast are so condescending of Harry and Meghan. Someone who has openly discussed his mental health. I’d love for anyone discussing Harry to look at all the footage from his recent visit. What an asset to the out of touch Royal family he could be. I’d love to hear this being discussed.
Apple Podcasts2Mic1060Australia3 months ago - The US visit
Please don’t let the king come here. He would be visiting a man who has ties with Epstein and a pedo. Also he’s a felon and a horrible man in general.

United States7 months ago - Boring
Unfortunately, this podcast relies almost entirely on personal opinion rather than actual reporting. The ongoing fixation on Harry and Meghan, Netflix, Spare, and past interviews feels repetitive and dated. It’s time to move on ladies. Is Meghan coming to the UK? Will she be liked by the public? I wonder if she will be booed? Totally boring podcast and Meghan haters!!!
