Excellent insight with a touch of wit. The best.
Marks routinely simplifies and elegantly articulates politics so his listeners receive easy to understand
high quality reporting. Never miss him.
Simon Marks always hits the mark on the latest stateside shenanigans — sharply observed and often biting. A rare, sane view from across the pond for folks back home and beyond.
Whenever Simon’s voice is on LBC it always makes for good listening. His portrayal of the circus that is American politics offers a window for UK radio and take of all things Washington DC. Simon appears to have a left wing bias.
A pleasure to hear from Simon Marks.
