  • My daily tonic

    I just love listening to these talented and thoughtful journalists cut through the noise and deliver well-researched reports on the most important stories of the day. I would be quite lost without the Today In Focus podcast. Thank you to the whole production team, from a time poor working mother.

  • Daily Mail is much better

    I love the Daily Mail. This is a lefty load of nonsense. Where are the articles on the unfair taxing of farmers and small boats! These days you’re not even allowed to say you’re English.

  • Absolute despicable sometimes

    The Farage school boy bullying episode was truly pathetic.

    Who remembers that sort of of stuff from over 40 years ago?

    C’mon ask yourself what do YOU REALLY REMEMBER from school!

    Just ridiculous!

  • How incredibly biased

    This comes across as very biased and some of the titles are very misleading. The person speaking on the ones I’ve listened to so far, she sounds incredible pompous and sarcastic, what a disappointment.
