Curate's eggy
I am a decades long Guardian reader and am beyond disappointed by this bland, uninformative podcast. Instead of featuring established and informative Guardian journalists (Toynbee, White, Kettle, etc.) they have a juvenile sniggering line-up who do not engage with the real issues. The latest episode is a case in point. They featured a Tory apparatchik (the kind of Mockney who pronounces the t in 'often' and thinks the world of Lynton Crosby), the pseudo-progressive Baer and a moderator who sounds like a teenager. Later, the Guardian Election Daily podcasts are quite a different matter. Owen Jones and Jonathan Freedland and their guests (including the excellent Stepehn Bush) are knowledgable, articulate, and informative. These are vastly superior to the regular podcasts and one can only hope that, when the election is over, the podcasts can keep up the "Election Daily" standards.Read full review »

I'm usually a fan of this podcast but this last edition seems to have been poorly edited. The female contributor's sections overlay others and seem completely out of sync. Surely someone listens to it before it goes out? It made sections unlistenable.Read full review »

...for example, Vince Cable has not been leader for “a really long time”. Anyone can make stuff up - what should characterise good political discussion is insight or, failing that, facts.

Please keep this trip of Jones Williams and Freedland. Really great. Why? No holes barred! However maybe 10 mins longer and slow it down a bit. It's almost as good as The Limehouse Podcast!Read full review »
