“Nick is simply the best interviewer. A great show with an array of interesting subjects. One of my favourite dog walking podcasts”

“Extraordinarily thought-provoking by Roger Hallam. I think the "house is on fire; act don't analyse" argument is hard to disagree with, but it did feel repeatedly that Nick Robinson just couldn't get away from "your protests make us late for work" mindset, and his remark...”Read full review »

“Mr Robinson is brilliant but cant help noticing that he’s interviewing B & C-listers for quite a while now. Perhaps he’s run out of all the worthwhile and interesting politicians.”

“The Roger Hallam interview was exceptional. I thought that Roger gave an honest account of his feelings and aims and you were able to maintain a high level discussion for the listener. I work in the Oil and Gas Industry and I was hoping for a balanced interview. I almost sensed that you enjoyed...”Read full review »

“This was such an eye-opening episode. I’m not a member of extinction rebellion and have only followed their work in the mainstream news. I am however a supporter of net zero. As the episode progressed, I found it slightly disturbing in its extremism. Nick’s arguments had merit. Rational argument...”Read full review »

“I am astounded that Nick kept his cool when “interviewing” Roger Hallam. How this man has managed to persuade people to join his civil resistance is beyond me. Claiming climate change is considerably worse than the holocaust and Cambodia and the genocide in the Congo is sickening.

“The Theresa May interview was fascinating and I think a real indictment of the British media as I wish we could have seen this side of her before and during her being PM.”

“Why would anyone who supported Brexit dream of coming on this podcast? One perfunctory question about his upbringing and background followed by a good old-fashioned gotcha BBC interview. this This is a really good format for a podcast except when Robinson allows his bias to overcome that format.”

We come to understand the contradictions as well in the arguments of the interviewee...”Read full review »

“…there were interesting enough, high calibre politicians in the UK to be worthy of this kind of attention, then I’d give a fifth star. The only interesting guest for me in the last year was Christopher Steele. Liz Truss was a joke when interviewed and she is now the PM - how far Britain has...”Read full review »

It’s become a little like the Monty Python Yorkshiremen skit, with every politician boasting about the hardships they’ve experienced, or pretend they’ve experienced, that somehow make them better able to understand the concerns of Real People....”Read full review »
