Customer Reviews
Essential listening
Excellent unbiased journalism and glad it’s continuing after election day. Don’t normally bother with self opinionated podcasts but this strikes the right balance and some genuine humour too. References to travelodge room colours spot on 😀
Disappointing
What a shame from Sky. These two have become more & more biased pre & post election - it’s like listening to Laura Kuenssberg. I’ve unsubscribed I’m afraid with regret. Will check in again in six months or so and see if it’s back to some sort of impartiality. Disappointing
Great election breakdown
Started listening to this for election news and am loving it. Just two journalists cheerfully giving updates on what’s happening. No politicians banging on , arguing etc…. Perfect
