“Other political podcast duos owe so much to Iain and Jacqui - the originals and the best. I always hope for maximum length and girth, and they often oblige! (Also actually loved deputy Carolyn Quinn - funny and fiery! Absolutely loved the live ep with Pascal too - what a thoughtful, interesting...”Read full review »

“Hi Iain,
I always listened to your podcasts with Jackie and also your radio show but through the podcasts. They are all brilliant, I am a Labour voter. Love the one with Caroline Flint and especially today with Margaret Hodge at the Liverpool conference. Mrenhal Birmingham”

“Until the last few weeks I thought it should be a Caroline to take over from Jacqui. However, blown completely out of the water was both. Carol Vorderman is head and shoulders better. Cliff”

“I have been listening since the very beginning and cannot believe we're about to get to episode 500. While Jacqui Smith is no longer with the podcast, it hasn't lost its combination of news, views and fun with a range of guest presenters. Numerous other political podcasts but this is the...”Read full review »

“In my opinion, the best political podcast. Very informative, but doesn’t take itself too seriously. Obviously it’ll never be the same without Jacqui as for 5 years they had the perfect mix of detailed knowledge, engaging conversation and a healthy dose of smut (even the lockdown 2 episodes 😂). My...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening to the Podcast for a while now. The search for the new Jacqui Smith has made for a very interesting set on shows. If you enjoy current affairs, presented in a lighthearted and thoughtful way, this is the show for you. I also love the nun jokes:)”

“Feels different without Jacqui and was hard to listen to when Iain was off because of the guest hosts always trying to be funny and be like Jacqui and Iain. Now Iain is back and the editing is much better I will start to listen again.”

“Not sure who the dick head is that have a 1 star review for Aggie & Grant. It’s a guest episode and you don’t like it, guess what?! It will be someone different next time.
Anyway, thought Aggie and Grant were great. She’s an awesome addition to the LBC team and Grant needs his own podcast...”Read full review »

“I have been listening now for a few years, discovery the pod after I came out of hospital following a serious illness. Sad that Jackie has gone on to greater things and I will miss her. I am enjoying the guest presenters with Thangam being my fave so far, she is a real talent.
I am a life long...”Read full review »

“It’s worth remembering there are thousands of hours worth of brilliant debate and banter to listen back to with the perfect coupling of I & J. I saw them live at the Hippodrome event too.

“Very inappropriate at times. Content which won’t age well. There’s no need for the s3xual content - it’s grim.
So much political podcast competition out there, it’s like they haven’t realised how dated it sounds.
Quite often little to no prep. done as though we’re lucky to have them....”Read full review »

“It was once a must listen but it’s now past its prime. A tired and formulaic yawnfest.
Jacqui doing privileged boss-girl feminism and Iain plugging the latest pamphlet he’s knocked up over the weekend.
So much time telling each other how funny and rude they are, but not actually being very...”Read full review »

“Gets worse as the years go by. Presenters more concerned with how often they can get themselves on tv and their unfunny “smutty” jokes. It’s all rather desperate and embarrassing. Also the ads are crowbarred in often mid-sentence. Amateurish.”

“Thought I’d give the podcast another listen after a time away. It used to be enjoyable but, with regret, I have to say the newer political/current affairs podcast are much better. There is no depth or insight to their analysis, the ‘humour’ is juvenile and it’s all rather self-serving.”
