- Bold, Well Informed, Intelligent Reporting
Strong opinions, experienced reporters give their unfiltered views and perspectives on up to the minute topics covering UK, US and beyond. Love their take and appreciate their blunt unfiltered style. The odd ‘Potty mouth’ doesn’t bother me - keeping it real!

Too left leaning, not balanced enough and potty mouthed. Look I don’t care about Trump but he’s really got under their skin.

A fabulously engaging interview. Yes I couldn’t agree more with your comment “how refreshing” to listen to grown up politician, speaking honestly and with clarity an common sense. Shame he; can’t rejoin government 😆

Thank you for the gutsy, inspiring episode on the Trump case
Inspiring to hear a strong defence of the BBC.
Hooray for Aunty.
Apple Podcasts5MeglemaUnited Kingdoma month ago - Unprofessional
The lack of professionalism is staggering. Emily and Lewis are Hooligan far lefts. They try to cover up for the BBC disaster and instead launch a war on the whistle blowers.
