“But I hate hearing a bunch of cis straight people talk about how cautious we have to be with trans folks’ healthcare. Trans people need to be part of that conversation, and in the UK right now, they basically aren’t.”

“update,
the music just keeps getting ever more bizarre, I’m becoming rather concerned about whoever it is who’s choice it is, I think they need help.
Why two introductions? Why the truly awful ‘jackanory’ happy, happy, music? It makes it sound as if it’s aimed at ten year olds. Other than that I...”Read full review »

““By virtue of being an immigrant you’re focused on survival rather than taking part in civic society” - paraphrasing from your last episode. Can we get someone who actually knows people who have moved here from other countries to talk about these issues pls? Lost it at “these types of people”.”

“Of course the NS would have a plastic waste episode unironically sponsored by Coca Cola. I thought it must be sarcasm. But here we are. A joke, indeed.
The soda industry is what popularized the idea of “recycling” so they could stop collecting and washing their glass bottles and instead put the...”Read full review »

“I simply repeat my comments about your partnership with Google:
If the New Statesman wants to be a credible left-leaning publication (and podcast), they need to refrain from partnering with global top 10 corporates with global outsized influence.
You look like a puppet with this kind of...”Read full review »

“The episode about the Left and Isreal was superb. Full of emotion, academic rigour and nuanced politics. It has stayed with me, so moving and so essential for me to build my understanding.”

“Always listen to this, and particularly enjoyed the recent Westminster Transformed episode about culture and wellbeing. Great to hear politics/current affairs get out of London and focus on the things which actually matter to our quality of life away from GDP numbers etc. more of that please!”

“I used to enjoy but now you get about 4-5 podcasts a week, which is too much and much of it isn’t good.
I love Armando Iannucci, but I don’t want to hear what he has to say about politics week after week or some thinly veiled ad about electric vehicles. If you’re willing to wade through episode...”Read full review »

It's salt in the wound that many of these adverts are for the mega...”Read full review »

“Used to listen to every NS pod….it’s not my politics, but we all need critical balance & NS was one of best for that
But since Marr I have given up….tried again on this one & that’s me done 😢
He is sadly just a pure activist…no analysis or added value …..should be a Labour MP not a...”Read full review »

“Enjoyed the discussion 11th sept 2023, but one comment. You didn’t actually discuss wealth taxes, capital gains can easily be avoided because rich people can choose when to realize gains or simply delay if needed. Wealth tax = % annual tax paid on net assets eg (made up) tax free allowance 1m,...”Read full review »

“Unwavering bootlicking and hypocritical posturing in absolute support of The Labour Right. The mental gymnastics on show is of an Olympian standard. No different to hideous right-wing newspapers, only batting for a blue side in their red away strip.”

“Does feel like just a branch of the BBC where they’re still OK with polished accents.
Not quite the same level of quality as the Spectator podcast, but they well be my bias.
Certainly not in the same league as the Economist podcasts.”

“When you had one of the few pod cast theme tunes which didn’t sound like it had been knocked up in 5 minutes by a kid with a kazoo, why after Stephen has left of all times, replace it with something that sounds like it ought to be the backing track to a Pixar movie about a sloth, a hippo and a...”Read full review »

In Stephen’s absence the podcast has steadily grown back into itself, largely by drawing on a wider range of contributors (and types of contributors), and if anything,...”Read full review »

“I love the NS podcast, it’s become something I look forward to. There’s plenty of variety, the Armando/Anoosh episodes have been especially good, and it’s great to listen to on my bike ride into work. But… was that really a Macdonalds ad I just heard? Really?”

“I don’t leave reviews often but I really like this podcast. I like the centre-left positioning that still critiques Labour and doesn’t just bash the Conservatives for everything they do. I like the collegiate tone and the way presenters challenge each other but do so gently. And I like the voices.”
