Please can you interview Henry Dimbleby re his book Ravenous.Thanks
I was slow to the party with this podcast but now firmly established only weekend podcast list. Keep up the great work.
Clive try’s to hard to be funny, too much over talking and interrupting. Great guests and presenters just let it breathe.
Come on BBC. This is a must-listen. Have to use iPlayer every week as delivery is so shoddy. Sort it out. You don’t do the programme team justice.
Mmmm. For all the promotional spiel Clive gives the podcast on the show, it is totally crap the way that episodes aren’t uploaded. The last one was 2 weeks ago. This is the BBC for you. Inconsistent to say the least. Amateurish.
