Just saw he had Lineker on- no thanks
Apple Podcasts1Slav15United Kingdom2 months ago - Such poor audio 😅
It's amazing you have a producer chatting on the start of the podcast when the podcast has some of the worst audio I've heard. Perhaps they should have listened to the actual recording. Gave up before the guests actually got on.
Apple Podcasts1A9189United Kingdom2 months ago - Brilliant
Richard Bacon is a great interviewer and, let’s be honest, one of the greatest humans of all time. We are honoured to be allowed to listen to him. Nobody else comes close.
Apple Podcasts5Mike-tasticUnited Kingdom3 months ago - Insightful and enjoyable (two words that dont always go together)
I’ve always enjoyed Richard’s interviews in his radio days. This format combines that confident playfulness with the life experience he’s gained a long the way. Not since Gyles Brandreth has someone had such an eclectic address book of friends! Brilliant and engaging.
