“An okay podcast that often has hit and miss panellists and can feel just a wee bit smug.
Alex is incredibly insightful and naturally entertaining but often plays second fiddle to other less able hosts.
The show seems to be unable or unwilling to play with the format and improve and seems to adopt changes after other podcasts in the genre have done so.
Some of the format decisions feels clunky and
I have no idea why the show has decided to play within the rules of legacy media having forced “segments” instead of flowing organically. They also call guests panellists.
The show also has a problem with relevancy, covering topics long after they hit the news due to their scheduling.
To be fair, the show has tried to fix this with emergency episodes and the change to a twice weekly format, but recording an episode that drops Thursday to paid backers and Friday to the rest (and probably recorded Wednesday) means that the episode just isn’t as fresh as some of its other podcast rivals.
The show also falls into the west minister bubble, rarely looking at any regional politics and lacking any panelists with insight in those areas when they do.
Locking away discussion around the Scottish first minister’s resignation to “the extra bit”, and thinking the first minister of Wales will struggle because they aren’t a native Welsh speaker really illustrates this podcasts London centric approach.
Panellists frequently agree with themselves and while I understand that the show isn’t going to have guests with widely different views, they do largely seem to all be from London, playing into the perception that the show is just a safe space for London liberal elites.
The podcast can be very good and I’d like to see it do better.
Ultimately the show seems to be trapped between wanting to be a TV show like politics live, and being a podcast.”

“It's become a Friday treat to have this podcast arrive in my podcasts app. Lots of news, facts and insight on Brexit, all delivered with a good dose of humour.
