“I downloaded this hoping for a fresh take on current affairs, but it’s just a lazy rehashing of the newspaper reviews on BBC and Sky, sourcing from the same small selection of discredited newspapers, boosting the same tired London opinions, filtered through an obnoxious Guardian-esque...”Read full review »

“Love the podcast and the hosts and guests! I usually listen while in my car, and have laughed out loud countless times (BOFFINS!). Podcast gives this Canadian a great insight into the state of things in England. Please open an account on Bluesky - all the cool kids are there! Well, Alex is anyway 😄”

“I love this show and its rotating shift of guests and really look forward to finding its appeared on my phone mon-fri for my commute home. Sometimes I even laugh out loud on the train. And anyone commenting here that Miranda’s laugh is irritating will have to go through me. It’s one of the best...”Read full review »

“As an avid - too avid - follower of politics podcasts, Paper Cuts is very often my go-to podcasts particularly when I can’t face the way serious issues are discussed elsewhere for the time-being. Sure. Paper Cuts doesn’t shy away but always manages to find fun in the bizarre world of the U.K....”Read full review »

“I’d been listening to the podcast for a while but today’s show was disappointing. The first story was taken and commented on at face value. This is despite a wealth of evidence, incredibly easy to access, to suggest it was a stunt and widely misreported. The way this podcast dealt with it was...”Read full review »

“This is generally very good, but variable depending on the presenters and guests. If the guests are clever, so is the commentary. Sometimes they are thick as mince, which is jarring. One had a go at the police once for ‘making a law’ he didn’t like… fundamentally misunderstanding how laws are...”Read full review »

“This would be so much more enjoyable without the really irritating cackling from one of the presenters. She loves her own « jokes » so much, and on a recent episode she even found the word « Dutch » impossibly funny, which led to several seconds of mindless giggling.
So much better when she’s not on”
