“I had stopped listening for a couple months as found Iain talking about himself unbearable. I tried again tonight and could not believe it was all about Iain from the start. I am starting to think he throws himself off stages/down stairs so he can speak about himself…Not for me anymore. Boring!”

“Excellent balanced podcast. It’s so refreshing to hear good friends disagree respectfully without the need to belittle or shame differing opinions. I’m a NHS consultant Gastroenterologist and left leaning. But, I love the opportunity to hear the balanced and non-tribal views of a Tory. Iain Dale...”Read full review »

“I'm very much of the left and therefore my positions are mostly rebuffed by this podcast. That doesn't mean I don't really enjoy listening to the one-on-one between these two Tory commentators (one Labour, one Conservative), and I'm as likely to agree with either of them when I...”Read full review »

“Brilliant political commentary from two great broadcasters.
If you love your political punditry to be equal measures of funny, factual, and gossipy (with a bit of harmless smut thrown in for good measure), then Iain and Jacqui’s podcast is for you.
I Look forward to every episode and as...”Read full review »

“I have listened to this podcast for a few years now. It’s very good and I enjoy the smut and humour
The only criticism is that Jacqui can be too tribal towards Labour, whereas Iain is more impartial and fair”

Loved politics since at university, but in the last couple of years the constant lies and denials from the current government has made me lose faith in it, and this approach appears to have trickled down...”Read full review »

“I found this podcast during lockdown. I was dealing with post partum depression and had moved from friends a few months before. I was incredibly lonely.

“This was the very first podcast I subscribed to and it remains my favourite. There are many reasons the For the Many fans say ‘Thank you for all you do’ to Jacqui and Iain, we are grateful for the political insight, travel advice, nun jokes and, of course, the smut. Please don’t replace Iain...”Read full review »

The two main protagonists often just sound pleased with themselves although when pushed Jacqui can reveal a harder edge. Cutting its rambling length...”Read full review »
