“Great idea, worth listing to but this podcast isn't brave enough to get deep into the issues and challenge the status quo with its liberal leanings. I suspect this is to woo the young listeners (I am one, but feel a little patronised).
We need more thorough material where people are invited to see other perspectives. Only in this informed context can fake news be avoided and stereotypes be challenged. Some examples;
In 'Whose helping teachers with tough kids' isn't it legitimate to consider that parents play a crucial role? Instead there was was no analysis on whether state funding was less per pupil than historically or whether other variables were at play (changes in society due to technology, immigration, less 'traditional family structures' etc). Instead the problem was simplified as if government cuts were the whole of the problem.
In 'How has #metoo changed American politics' - a great topic - it was taken for granted that the movement was unanimously good. There was no discussion about whether it was a good thing that people should be 'guilty until proven innocent' etc.
Unfortunately this type of journalism is part of a wider problem with the BBC, who struggle to understand their own biases.”Read full review »

“I have just about reached saturation level regarding the number of podcasts subscribed to. When I first saw this I thought 'another current affairs based podcast is the last thing I need especially one that arrives on a daily basis'. I now find however that there are few episodes that I...”Read full review »
