This podcast defines my Saturday morning. I am bereft that you have chosen to end it. Please bring it back!
I am so sad this brilliant podcast has come to an end. Please reconsider 🙏🏻
I’ve been regularly listening for a year. It’s become part of my weekend routine and I’ll be so sad to see it go. Thank you for so many great episodes!
Having just listened & learnt this podcast will be finishing next week I am so sad. Mainly because I find reading difficult & this podcast is something I look forward to, it has become part of my weekend routine. I’m guessing it is a cost based decision but the guardian podcasts are something I would consider paying a subscription for. A great loss😔
I love this podcast, it is one of my go to listens alongside, This American Life and The Moth Hour, no small thing. I consistently and painlessly take on new information on some subject every week, and find the items about Boris Johnston, which whilst they leave me reeling with disbelief, bring some sort of relief that I am not going mad when I obsess over the screaming why of those who vote for him. So thank you. I rather enjoy the actors readings and appreciate their being employed. MR
