“This podcast is just what you’d expect from Private Eye - sheer brilliant reporting wrapped up in clear language and with an unassuming non pompous delivery. The only disappointing thing about it is its rarity! If only we could receive these more frequently, I’m sure the world would be a better...”Read full review »

“Lives up to the Eye’s reputation for gleeful muckraking with tongue planted firmly in cheek. These guys are the happy-go-lucky Jack Russell terriers of investigative journalism, digging deeply and enthusiastically until they catch the prey they’re after—and the hauls they bring in are truly...”Read full review »

“God knows there’s plenty to expose! Pod is funny informative and sometimes biting. In a time when the big boys are chucking out 2or3 pods a week Private Eye remain cunningly hidden behind a name only old readers will spot and put out one pod at the rate of "when we feel like it!” Vermeer is...”Read full review »

“Private eye is probably one of the only remaining trustworthy news sources in a world afloat with lies, corruption, half truths and incipient apocalypse - it also has cartoons. The podcast is a fascinating insight into the workings of the mag - a great way to get to know the contributors and how...”Read full review »

“Incredibly interesting and has made me subscribe to the rag. Solid work from AHM and a wonderful insight to how it’s made and what they choose. Now reading the mag, it’s a brilliant companion and interesting to see the same old names popping up (Udi Sheleg in the latest issue)”

Nick talks to the guests and has a friendly style, without being gushy, and asks good questions. I’ve enjoyed ever episode I’ve listened to, though...”Read full review »

“Subscribe to this excellent podcast and then subscribe to the magazine. As the last episode said they like to “bang on” but that’s just a phrase to indicate dogged investigative journalism and there’s little enough of that around these days. A British institution, long may it continue.”

Private Eye is a British satirical magazine with investigative journalism at its finest. If you are a snowflake - it’s not for you.
