“I really loved the old podcast; it was the first ever podcast I listened to and was definitely 5 stars. I just wish when it came to an end, Ed and Geoff bowed out gracefully as what is left is just banal chat, mainly about Ed’s quirks and going over old ground. Maybe I’ll catch up on all of the...”Read full review »

“Mourning the loss of the old format (I understand the necessity of its demise; best of luck in the Facebook group election Geoff!). But by God, the Cheerful Chatterooooooo is exactly what the doctor ordered for these ostensibly pessimistic times.”

“A regular weekly dose of optimism to keep the doom and gloom away! Ed Miliband seems like a lovely intelligent man and far too nice to ever have been PM and his co-host Geoff Lloyd is witty and self-deprecating.
Big ideas to improve the world are interspersed with funny and personal stories about...”Read full review »

“1) as an interview technique Ed’s “talk about….” feels jarring. Like barking out orders instead of asking questions. 2) the adverts. Hearing Geoff sing the praises of The Times and calling it Britain’s most trusted newspaper is not great. I’m trans and The Times has transphobic hit-pieces most...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened to this podcast for years and have learnt so much from it every week. I know podcasts cost money to create, but the lengthy ads - now very lengthy and mid-episode - are very off putting and feel like a sell-out. Does Geoff REALLY absolutely love the Kia car? It sounds trite and...”Read full review »

“Why on Earth couldn’t we see this side of Ed Miliband when he was leader of the Opposition? Such a great guy, funny, clever, authentic and human. And look who we have in power now!! God it makes me want to weep at the missed opportunity!! Keep it up guys.”

Ed and Geoff are so engaging - they really...”Read full review »

“I love RTBC but this spin off is about as far from it as you would want to imagine. Biased, boring and tripping off all the usual tropes about the red and blue parties. No balance whatsoever. If you’re a fan of Owen Jones and like echo chambers you may well enjoy it. Disappointing that RTBC is...”Read full review »

“The interviews are usually interesting and informative but neither Ed nor Geoff are particularly funny so shouldn’t try to be. Like a previous reviewer, I think the comedian at the end is pointless and should be dropped. What could be a good podcast is spoilt by all the waffle.”
