“A really excellent podcast with a first rate guest. Good to see Alastair Campbell doing a really good job as an interviewer rather than being an serial apologist for the multiple sins of the New Labour government. Rory good too.”

“As with the main show, this used to be good but is now being used as a propaganda machine by Alistair. Rory only seems to be interested in the US and doesn’t pull up Alistair on wild inaccuracies. Quality of guests on leading has diminished which is perhaps unsurprising.”

“What an amazing human, what an innovator and what a force for good. She is so incredibly inspiring, so gracious and so measured. I think there is so much to learn from leaders outside the Anglo-Saxon world and I hope you keep branching out this way. Thank you”

“Have enjoyed all of the Leading shows but alas can’t get through the Nick Cleggs - he is absolutely odious. Even his ums and ahs are affected and stagy. Made David Davis seem normal by comparison. If Clegg had been in coalition with Johnson I think they’d have got on famously. Both twisted by...”Read full review »

“As someone from the centre-right, this podcast has become unbearably left wing. I enjoyed this show as a debate between people from different ends of the political spectrum - it hasn’t been that for a long time. Alastair Cambell is utterly disparaging of any view that isn’t his own and seems to...”Read full review »

“I hated listening to David Urban. I know it’s important to hear all sides. I appreciated the attempted discussion. If only integrity mattered and basic science. Please don’t let spin become the norm. Fast talkers aren’t really listening and are hard to listen to. But show is definitely 5 stars.”

“… should have been challenged on his previous boasting about how many nuclear power projects the Lib Dems blocked and derailed while in government. Clegg’s case was that ‘they take 10 years to build’ … that was about 12 years ago! The dangers of policy blinded by ideology and dogma.”

She sounds mechanical and needs...”Read full review »
