“Zero connection between interviewer and guests. He has no interest. Just listening to the interview with Raynor Winn- god, it was awkward. All she achieved and he asks about her foot care and reacts surprised when she says she’d do her journey again, judged her husband for being a mature student,...”Read full review »

“I’ve given three episodes a go and perhaps some of the others are better but I really don’t think Paxman’s blunt / hostile style translates well to podcasts. These are interrogations, not two way conversations. The simplistic combative questions such as “why do you bother” “who cares” “why should...”Read full review »

“Very refreshing listening to Jeremy on a country walk. Love all the various characters and the skilful way Jeremy reveals the layers. Would like to hear him chat to a pub landlord/lady and hear their experience of lockdown”

“I started listening a about a month ago and have found all the interviews to be thought provoking and interesting. Hopefully they can get into the pubs ASAP as I find that a nice angle that needs to exploited more! Great work, keep the episodes coming.”

“Very much enjoy these podcasts from a skilled interviewer with interesting and varied guests. Lord Sumption edition was great; also interesting today with Armando Ianucci. Gone is the aggressive interrogation of Paxman’s Newsnight persona; here it is his short, direct and sometimes abrupt...”Read full review »

“Paxman can be very variable- at his best he is intelligent, provocative and thoughtful but on occasions he does not listen closely enough to his guests and can sometimes seem ill prepared; for example, he did not seem to have read James Rebanks’s first book when he interviewed him about his...”Read full review »

“Not all guests deliver but Paxman is always worth a listen. Deliberately or not, he shows up Lee Child as smug and entitled. Proof that you don’t have to be a southern Old Etonian to come across as self-satisfied.”

“David Runciman has either been deprived of sleep or was very bored by the interview. Whilst he is right about the poor state of our democracy his suggested solutions seemed rather feeble. Definitely a low energy interview.”

“Hmm bit mixed this one. Jeremy’s questioning ability seems to be on the wain. His last interview with Dr Rachel started off well and then just lost its way. Covid deaths on death certificates is not an accurate indicator of whether they died with Covid or from Covid. Jeremy never uttered a word,...”Read full review »

“Shockingly poor sound levels - totally ruined the Jonathan Sumption interview, could only hear about half of it.
I wonder if JP realises how confrontational his tone sounds - the same questions put more gently could make a more pleasant listen.
I get the feeling JP has been quite lazy with his...”Read full review »

Personally I don’t believe he has translated well to this type of interview, he sounds aggressive and accusative and dare I say somewhat dismissive of the interviewee views and opinions on occasion. I have...”Read full review »

“This podcast is supposed to be JP having a chat in the pub. It should be a cosy, thought provoking conversation. The Michael Palin episode is like that but the rest (brian cox etc) consist of JP asking questions and his guest getting very angry. It becomes one of JP’s angsty political interviews....”Read full review »

“Was a great fan of Paxman’s objective interviewing.

On this podcast specifically, Paxman’s libertarian inkling seeps through when...”Read full review »
