Five stars every time.
If you have any interest in the written and spoken language I highly recommend this program. I have listened for several years now on a weekly basis often repeating an episode several times and always come away informed and entertained. Roly you are great!

Annoying female presenter
Rolly is great. Pity that the female presenter speaks over him and makes unintelligent comments - she ruins the program!
