  • Always Compelling

    Always compelling with thought provoking conversations between the hosts and between them and their top notch guests. I particularly enjoy the thematic episodes on things like Melodrama or the adaptations of Stephen King’s work (though my favourite Salem’s Lot didn’t get a mention). Always compelling, so long may this podcast continue.

  • wonderful and integral show! A great work.

  • Wokery at the BBC? Surely not.

    Dr Kermode is - as always - fantastic. A fount of knowledge, and endlessly entertaining. The frequent wokery from Ms Jones, however, is endlessly irritating.

    One listens to such podcasts for entertainment, not to be preached at by the ignorant.
