“Listening to the Liz Truss interview with Chris, I cannot understand why newscast gives airtime to this failed politician. She is delusional in what she achieved or can in the future achieve. There was no push back by Chris when she denied and was unrepentant on the untold damage she caused to...”Read full review »

“Why are you giving air time to the former Prime Minister. She cost every family in the UK a lot of money, made our country an international laughing stock and ought really to be in prison. She certainly does not deserve having her memoir advertised.”

“Too much time on Angela Rayner’s alleged misdemeanour! I’m neither for or against her but there’s more important things… not least those who’ve taken us for millions !”

“‘ I gave up’ the news during COVID. I’m a GP and sometimes I felt life had too much misery at work so I didn’t want to then come home and read BBC articles/ watch TV about murder , wars and misery.
However I felt like an ignoramus so 3 months ago started listening to Newscast instead. And...”Read full review »

“If you want an in-depth discussion, it’s not the pod, but you can get that from so many other podcasts. and when you get up in the morning and you just want to know what’s going on in UK politics today, and a bit about stuff around the world, without it being too serious then it’s perfect”

“I listened to this episode, hoping to get at least some in depth discussion on the subject. I got nothing, but bland chit chat and a bit of lame banter. A weak interview with Michael Gove. Before long they were on talking about Mark Knopfler.
I’m afraid to say the BBC has lost it for me. I used...”Read full review »

“As someone who doesn’t avidly follow the news on TV this podcast is just perfect. News is presented in such a way that makes it interesting. The presenters are all fabulous… they explain up front the topics they’re covering and make it easy for the casual listener.
Keep up the great work...”Read full review »

“Hahahahah - so Sir Simon Nobody says it will be a decade of decline under Labour?! Maybe the BBC should ask about the disastrous decline we’ve been under the Sleazy Nasty Party - the Tories. So weak.”

“What a frustrating listen. I wish Laura had done her homework. She should point out that on divorce, marital assets are shared so Mone and Barrowman’s argument that the money wasn’t hers was arguably nonsense. Also, why no questions about the Isle of Man and a member of the House of Lords...”Read full review »

“Have listened to newscast for ages and listen every day so was excited to hear it would be seven days a week. However the weekend episodes with Laura and Paddy are some of the worst podcasting I’ve ever heard. Almost no news just promoting their own shows and blowing smoke up each others arses....”Read full review »
