“Love this podcast, excellent content, always interesting. But I feel one of the Matts has rather taken over the show, and even when the other Matt is given a chance to speak his contributions are not really listen to by the bossy one! Could you share the time a bit more fairly? I think it might...”Read full review »

“Held back on the review until until a true Prem Cru episode landed, as it did on todays Q&A.
K (rent-me? never!) and D’A (Jam-Side-Up,don’t y’know) knocked it out the park without trying, despite D’A’s hand wringing early doors in the episode.
The subject matter has often rankled, even for a...”Read full review »

“I usually enjoy the podcast but to hear the Matts go on and on and on about Biden’s age and barely say anything negative about Trump is pathetic. They should now watch his SOTU speech. His speeches and governing has been impressive. Trump is clear and present danger to democracy. Let’s have some...”Read full review »

“Have either of you nothing to say what Israel state is now doing in Gaza? Why is this taboo ? Babies aren’t terrorusts. Netanyahu has for years let Hamas do what they want there as kept it an open prison . Their treatment of Muslims over many years as been racist yet not a word said. You must see...”Read full review »

“I subscribe to the paper and hoped for great things from this podcast but was disappointed. The content was, at times, interesting but the presentation was self congratulatory and ultimately disappointing.”

“I’ve read Matt D’Ancona’s work for years: he’s seriously good thinker and writer…and now podcaster.
The Two Matt’s ongoing disgust for our act of self harm by trying to distance ourselves from our European home, but they do it through both sharing their commentary on the immediate and long...”Read full review »

“The best ever! Thank you. Peterson isn’t just a nasty human being he’s also dangerous. I liked the fact that you both showed your feelings about him rather than a simple discussion of his views.

It’s not about being Jewish any longer. If this was any other...”Read full review »

“I do enjoy this podcast and the two Matts’ take on politics and world events. But I do have a grumbling concern that’s reached a head today. It’s overwhelmingly male! The two Matts are both men, their producer (the third Matt) is a man. I haven’t listened to every Two Matts podcast, but I’ve...”Read full review »

Picasso was a paedophile & a misogynist and that should be the focus of that man’s history. To hear someone who I...”Read full review »

“Huw and Cry - I didn’t know about the Rachel Johnson story and was disappointed not to hear it fully. The Two Matts batted it back and forth and didn’t take the minute or so to explain it. For this reason you don’t get five stars. I think it fair of MA to question the Huw behaviour profile -...”Read full review »

“Regardless of the politics, it is never a good look when the host keeps calling the British PM an idiot repeatedly. Content and is good. If only we can have a civilised debate rather than making the whole episode sound like a rant. If only a little consideration is given to toning it down a little.”

“I’m a subscriber to the paper and listen to the podcast. Very good content but the presenter’s approach is a bit flat. He also welcomes listeners calling them snowflakes which has traditionally been a derogatory term for millennials which I find annoying. Better to listen to The Rest is Politics.”

That format was a bit boring at times, even though the show was always...”Read full review »
