- Interview with Mary Duffy
I’ve been quite impressed by Brendan’s interviewing on other episodes but the interview with Mary Duffy was outstanding. Her brave testimony as the life experience of a person with disability was powerful and Brendan’s skill was honest and professional in facilitating one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to. 👏👏👏👏

Irelanda month ago - Great show
I think Brendan is gifted at this type of show. He is always well-informed no matter what the topic & engages well with every type of guest. Not afraid to ask hard questions & his interviews always seem to evolve organically as guests always seem v at ease with him. Sunday panel is always lively & enjoyable too.

United Kingdom3 months ago - The Race-to-the-Bottom continues.🙄
Brendan facilitating Paul Howard and that little old hunchback Chris De Burgh back slapping and kissing each other’s arses and massaging each other’s egos was nauseating in the extreme. I expected better from Paul Howard. Superficiality at its best. 🙄

United States4 months ago - Brendan afraid of libel, and losing the well-paid gig
Generally a good mix of contributors to the newspaper panel but Brendan constantly feels the need to limit what guests can say or to dilute what they’ve said. ‘To be fair’, let’s be careful now’ All in all, one of the better shows
