Its ok
I feel the enthusiasm for bringing fresh perspectives fell on the wayside a while ago with this pod. An update for the talking points of the day (although perhaps more a self-sooth for writers who otherwise should stick to the day job), the presenters though highly esteemed are pretty centre ground conservatives, which would mean today they privately veer left and anti-brexit (at least certainly the younger presenters who wont say that but clearly they are professional and ambitiously unwilling to put a foot forward according to the climate of news today). This makes for a passing sentiment of what matters to those with traditional values and a glint in the eye when talking all things left from scotland, wales and London… don't expect the west-country or Ireland to get much of a lick. These are the dangers of exclusivity when culturing an academically backgrounded youth for a quick 10min pod. One could argue Katie might stick to hosting larger tv based platforms and managing her next edition with an eye to delegating pods like this to some regional talent with some perspectives invested in politics, but I do respect her dry remarks when she has them. Im starting to think who is this for? Politicians? No. Conservative right? No. Libdems? No No. Labour? No No, Yes but No. I guess this podcast is suffering the same Identity crisis the Conservatives have been having with the grip of a pro migration academia to suit its massive costs from foreign students and investors verses the grass roots conservatives who don't have this concern and worry about culture outside of London and the cap and gown world.Read full review »

More reviews of Coffee House Shots
Coffee House Shots are a superb way of obtaining thoughtful, incisive and up-to-date analysis of the key areas of UK and world politics. A day without a fix from CHS is like a day without sunshine.

I like that it’s a daily round up. I think Isobel, Katy and Lara are really great but I find Fraser and James quite boring

I don’t necessarily agree with all of your politics, but I do love your insight and the cogency of your near-instantaneous reporting. First thing I listen to. While I’m brushing my teeth.
