“Love this. The presenters’ rapport is good and the political content is great. It’s the best politics show (def better than the newsagents). Thanks to the showmakers for reducing the culture fix to being v short. Really could do without it altogether though - there are other podcasts for that.”

“In a crowded podspace full of political bias, this is refreshingly observant. Lucy F presents it well and I particularly rate Miranda Green and Jim Pickard. George Parker also succinct. Well done!”

“Fisher, Bush and Shrimsley? Brilliant! I actually think this is my favourite podcast. I wish it was longer or more frequent. It’s ACTUAL analysis not just news summaries and they stick their neck out with opinions - really good stuff, more please.”

“The presenter is very annoying. In the early days he always used to ask for good reviews and nice comments only. Now he’s toned it down to “we like positive reviews and nice comments”. Throughout he has thanked people “for joining” - should be “for joining me” or “joining the discussion” of...”Read full review »

“I read the FT daily and value it’s information base. I am , however, slightly irritated by the clear embedded leftward bias displayed by Robert Shrimsley & Jim Pickard. This is subtlety displayed by the use of slightly emotive and signalling language.
Also while Tony Blair’s comment on the...”Read full review »

“No attempt to properly evaluate water….vs other countries or vs when nationalised …..complete lack of any depth at all
Not sure if this is due to just poor quality journalism, or the inherent FT political bias
Either way it’s just sad to see how poor FT has become 😢😢”

“The content is great, insightful and informative. I find this much better now that Seb Payne has gone. The one doubt I have is the ‘culture fix’, where the presenters spend too much time talking about themselves.”

“Definitely not convinced by new format, Seb is looking like a massive hole that hasn’t been filled. However content remains strong and thankfully not fallen into trap of using politician interviews so the analysis remains key to the value. Please drop the culture bit, or make more inclusive, it...”Read full review »

“This has long been one of my favourites but the perky new presenter seems determined to take it down market. Her discussion is cliché ridden - ‘deep dive’, ‘the health space’, ‘marmalade dropper’ for example - and no doubt there will be more ’going forward’.
Worse, she seems to think we want...”Read full review »
