  • Refreshingly real

    Has quickly become my favourite listen on Wednesday. Informative and credible insights from presenters who don’t have to pretend they were ‘in the room’, as they actually were.

  • Great podcast but with blind spots

    Overall, this is brilliant - incredibly insightful, and I learn a lot every episode. But they love the royal family FAR too much and think every communication they put out is a work of genius. They have a very critical eye on everything else but are strangely blind to the royals’ PR failings.
