Sorry Marianna
I very rarely write reviews, and I apologize that this one will be a little harsh. I lived in the US for over a decade, teaching politics in universities, before returning to the UK where I teach the politics A-level. So politics podcast and my bread and butter. Justin and Sarah are experienced and measured. Justin is sometimes off-base, but is admirably humble in challenging his own opinions. The podcast also gets some great guests. The problem, in my view, is Mariana Spring. I find her sections unbelievably unilluminating and have often wondered whether the BBC has signed a long contract with her that they cannot get out of. Does she have any expertise in US politics? I skip past her sections whenever she is talking. If this podcast wants to insist on having a regular section about social media, there are so many bright and savvy young people who could do this much better. Sorry!

It’s Brexitcast but in the wrong country with the wrong presenters. Jon and Emily (Jemily?) are great, plus they swear, which is always a bonus. An excellent podcast, highly recommended!

With Brexit cast over a new cast to enjoy as we hurtle to November and that this could be. Funny as f.... too

Please stop allowing guests to call Trump a racist without challenging them. Really poor. Keep up the good work but please take your BBC bias tinted glasses off!
