Like listening to an interesting yet politically incorrect grandparent.
This podcast is incredibly interesting and professional with some fantastic guest speakers and topics.

The BBC needs to drop Melvyn and inject some much needed modernity and vitality into this podcast with potential to change the debates and discussions our society has.
