“I just listened to the episode on the UK economy with Paul Johnson. He said and I paraphrase,’The UK has been quite good at getting people to university but less good at technical/vocational training’. Whilst I agree with the latter surely he has the intellect to realise that part of the problem...”Read full review »

“If you believe that politicians are like you, you clearly are a self centred individual, which is probably why your in the media, read your history, all politicians are hypocrites and self centred individuals, you vote for a cause or party that you are interested in.
Excellent program but the...”Read full review »

“The BBC is the greatest institution that this country has. The most trusted source of information in the rest of the world. The people, who talk about BBC’s’bias’ are the ones that listen to Nigel Farage and other toxic extremists. Great work, BBC!”

“I was disappointed by the narrator’s extreme bias here. This is such an interesting topic that requires complete neutrality to be able to delve into the nuances and facets of this very real phenomena. The narrator almost seemed unwilling to accept the theory. I certainly can buy into the thesis...”Read full review »

“I downloaded this podcast for analysis instead I got indoctrination and “look at all the reasons why I am right”! Episodes are often less analysis and more debate, in most cases a one-sided one. Prime example the episode on cancel culture. Unfollowed.”

“A very good podcast, but unfortunately produced by the BBC with its biases.
Foucault is discussed with the reference to his observation of power, and the Great Barrington Declaration in another episode (and how that was wrong). I suggest that they cover the Madness of Crowds phenomena, and how...”Read full review »

“There are very few podcasts that provide so much information in an understandable manner. I know it should not come as a surprise, it is the BBC after all. Yet, the five episodes on Freedom of Speech took me completely by surprise. Although it is perhaps more urgent now than then, I have not seen...”Read full review »

“There aren’t enough superlatives that one can use for this podcast. Incredibly informative, well research, well presented and they find this magical balance of packing a great deal of information in 30 minute shows (on average). I also love the topics they seek to unpack and you always, always...”Read full review »

“I honestly don’t get why the BBC don’t promote Analysis more energetically.
If it was new, American, and had slightly flashier editing, I’ve no doubt it would be a critical darling of podcasts. As it is, it’s been running on Radio 4 since 1970 and so gets overlooked.
Intelligent, accessible,...”Read full review »
