If I were a teacher of journalism, the podcast would be on my...”Read full review »

“As always JB analyses , condenses and vacuum packs a huge subject into a well balanced and informative short space. A true pro and alone worth the BBC licence fee.
Keep him active”

“I have been following Jeremy’s journalism for over 30 years. He continues to educate and enthral me with his reports. This podcast is a perfect antidote to the quick tabloid journalism which seems to dominate the landscape. Thank you Jeremy.”

“Excellent podcast and covering an important topic usually not discussed in current affairs podcasts. I got the reference from Saturday Extras in Australia but this is relevant for anyone, anywhere, interested in good journalism. Thoroughly recommend it.

“A Masterclass from Jeremy Bowen. All journalist and wannabe journalists (and tweeters) need to listen to this. Bowen leans on his decades of experience, reporting from the world’s war torn hotspots and delves into what it takes to tell the truth. A brave series from the BBC, bravo ! 5 stars.”

“As a journalist/activist, I like this pod a lot.
Of course no one is totally impartial as you say.
Still telling the truth is vital. And in context.
It’s hard to hear Piers Morgan’s voice. Ever.”
