“… is wrong about BIden, Harris and Walz. Wimpy David Lammy is not much of a Alistair Cooke!!
He (Lammy) has often been deceived, & he has made many mistakes. He has seen the pain caused by positive political people, and so he is positive about nothing.
A nothing space holder who is in the...”Read full review »

“I was a regular listener to Politics Without The Boring Bits in which Matt Chorley was both witty & incisive. I have just listened to his interview with Boris Johnson & it was bizarrely unbalanced. I think BJ was a poor PM who lacked any real clarity of purpose in government after Dominic...”Read full review »

“What a joke, they have the prime minister on and do not bring up the pensioner heating allowance being cut, no talk of the police state and free speech, this show is nothing but a mouthpiece for government agenda. The public are waking up to the government control of media.”

“Such a shame that a quality, long form conversation is typically ruined by Adam. Constant self obsession and “I” this and “I” that. Just let the guest or your colleagues talk. It’s not about you.
Update Oct 2024 - having just listened to Adam and Chris interview the PM, something has to change....”Read full review »

“Newscast is a cheery, upbeat look at war, genocide, natural disasters, poverty and whatnot that will put a smile on your face and make you chuckle as the world burns. It’s all very interesting, you know, mass rape, hurricanes, race riots, just fascinating stuff, and great occasions for witticism...”Read full review »

“Such a shame that the current government are being given such a soft ride. Early days admittedly and not following much of an administration for the past few years, but Paddy could not be MORE of a rabid Labour supporter if he tried. Appalling favouritism”

It’s unfortunate (because not loads of women are on), but I’m finding LK very difficult - constant mm’s and yes’s that come off as “I know this too”, speaking over other who are giving some interesting...”Read full review »

“Could an editor/ producer listen to this in the context of this video being made by a young mum with three young kids facing sickness, side effects of cancer and treatment and potentially a horrible early death whilst being at the heart of the royal family and see how cold Adam’s tone is.”

“If Paddy wishes to continue to present himself as a pundit rather than as a neutral journalist, and leaving aside the fairly transparent biases, I will stop listening to the weekend show.”

“Had enjoyed this pod until they opened with a segment on Harris’ clothing. Then tried to save it by saying Obama was dress well and the editing couldn’t be bothered telling them to start over!! Not a pod that should be in modern commentary”

Newscast (formerly Brexitcast) has never been truly impartial or unbiased, but there’s now blatant contempt for the new UK Labour Govt, and an increasingly similar attitude towards Biden/Harris...”Read full review »

“Laura Kuenssberg’s ill judged attempts at light hearted banter combined with her poorly concealed anti-Labour position make an otherwise good podcast very hard to listen to regularly.
The BBC - Educate, Entertain & Inform? Not these days… Instead it is more Whinge, Whine & Moan!”
