“Whenever Simon’s voice is on LBC it always makes for good listening. His portrayal of the circus that is American politics offers a window for UK radio and take of all things Washington DC. Simon appears to have a left wing bias.”

“Simon Mark’s reporting is superb, informative, lean in its content, very clearly well researched and in-depth enough to provide the kind of information that an outsider to the US can refer to for a window into current political events state side.
His delivery makes what could be boring very...”Read full review »

“I love the daily updates on US politics and have made this my go to source. Lately however, the ads at the beginning and end (which were tolerable and reasonable for a free service) have been upgraded to also include an ad in the middle of the podcast. I’ll be tuning out if it keeps up.”

“Glad I found the podcast after catching on LBC on and off.
Simon’s is an independent voice - he will happily turn his acerbic wit on all areas of the US . Politically during Trump he didn’t hold back and so ofcourse was accused of being a leftie liberal. Trump was just the gift that kept on...”Read full review »

“I chanced upon Simon when listening to Eddie Mair on LBC. Having previously been a radio 4 junkie I followed Eddie when he left PM. Simon’s segments are excellent and concise and cover the state of the (US) nation particularly well. Occasionally repetitive as he’s reporting the same thing for...”Read full review »

“Simon Marks really provides great insight to what’s going on in America, with a bit of tongue in cheek commentary.
I didn’t realise he had his own podcast. Now I don’t have to skip through lbc’s broadcasts for my favourite reporter!”

“Have loved Simon’s journalism in these bite sized chunks through 2020. Sometimes barely concealing his incredulity at Trump’s behaviour but always incisive. Thanks Simon!”

I would have gladly given 5 stars for information but the uploading of the podcast is quite repetitive.
May I suggest each upload has a country of broadcast as the first world and I can just choose to listen to those aimed...”Read full review »

“I really like how Simon gives a lot of facts, and then tells you his take on it. Does a good job of separating those 2.
I like getting this perspective, because he is reporting locally, but it gives great insight as to how news is being perceived outside of the US borders.”
