Apple Podcasts5EL24680United Kingdoma year ago - Bereft this is finishing
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. Iām guessing it is a cost based decision but the guardian podcasts are something I would consider paying a subscription for. A great lossš
Apple Podcasts5Joco9000United Kingdoma year ago - The Guardian Podcast
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
