So Jonathan knows his stuff.
But ….. His speech is insidious, and he keeps revisiting various topics, even though the podcast's frequency suggests he's reporting news.
(And the speed is also too low)
Anyway: stick to the news and someone else to read it.
I've tried a few times now, but I'm giving up.
All the best though.
Jonathan is an amazing podcast host and I often wonder how he can get such great guests- his interviews are always interesting and informative because he covers all the subjects and asks such insightful questions.
The dedication of him and his wonderful guests is so valuable .
An hour of wishful thinking disguised as analysis.
Love it. Great guests, and often a review of what's in the media ❤️🙏
