“Nice to hear the Brits view of America. The pod covers areas that are not often addressed by media here in the states. I look forward to each episode.”

“Used to listen to this every week, but feel Justin Webb has gone too far bringing “balance” by justifying the action and views of the far right.”

“I generally love this podcast, I find it hugely entertaining and informative and when I found out that Elon Musk had agreed to an impromptu interview I was very excited about what was going to be aired.
I appreciate that this was put together in a rush, but I found it to be really poorly...”Read full review »

“I am from the left wing. However, i need the BBC to be objective and unbiased. This is appalling and needs to be taken out of the stable and shot.

“As and American, I do not think that you could possibly understand The USa by living and working in Washington, DC. It is not a real place. I lived and worked there on both sides of the aisle for 30 years. You cannot uderstand us as some kind of monolith. You certainly can’t analyze us that...”Read full review »

“Really need to stop banging on about the ‘undercover’ voters. Yes we get it. People get presented different types of information on social media depending on their own interests and political leaning. Tedious does not begin to cut it.”

“To describe MSNBC as the left version of Fox News is really poor. Fox outright lies, yes MSNBC has more left leaning stories but that’s very different to what Fox do. Really must do better because this poor journalism is what breeds people to believe all MSM is the same.”

“I cannot believe you have ‘both sides’ the immigration issue. They did not put them buses in Martha’s Vineyard when they arrived. They fed and housed and then the National Guard was mobilised to move them to a facility that was better equipped to take care of them. It was a cruel stunt. You have...”Read full review »

“Saying Kyle Rittenhouse was carrying an illegal weapon is incorrect. The charges were dropped after the prosecution and judge acknowledged it was legal (they can carry at 17 in that state as long as they are not short barrel).
