  • Replaced ‘The Today programme’ for me

    After Brexit I could no longer stand radio 4 and the, frankly dreadful, biased journalism.

    This show is perfect; short, to the point and at about 25 min, perfect length.

    A brilliant podcast!

    Politically quite biased . Most of the podcasters and “guests” invited are openly left leaning socialists . Simply scroll down the podcast feed and just by reading the titles you can judge yourself

Take today's report on Trump's Tik Tok takeover. Removing from the Chinese Communist Party the ability to spread propaganda and steal elections is a worthy cause. But did the solution have to resemble the Godfather's takeover of Las Vegas, Moe Greene's shot in the eye, and reward Trump's cronies? Old Donald will probably think that a compliment.... more
