“As an Englishman living now permanently in the United States, I often ask myself what do I miss about the land where I grew up. Well, it is not the beer, the fish and chips or the daily newspapers used to wrap the previous item. The beaches are as beautiful here. But I would say up until about 2015 (ish) it was the BBC. More the radio than they television. While I have struggled with editorial and funding issues I continued to use my Sonos speakers to tune in to news, especially the world service. I was especially troubled by the more recent appointment of Richard Sharp as chairman. When you have brushed up alongside him in the workplace, you know you don’t want him changing the filter of our news machine every day. He is trouble, and government is playing a game. Which leads me to this new offering I have been following from the initial broadcast. I love living in America, it is a wonderful home for my family, but some days the news coverage via print, digital, cable and so on is simply ghastly. So back to the missing and I suppose the lacking ingredient is news coverage. Thank you for Emily, Jon and Lewis for stepping in to fill this void in careful and thoughtful coverage. I’m in! Possibly the best thing about having this excellent service on Podcast is that I can choose when to tune in. I can walk the dog listening, broadcast while cooking, have it playing in the home office sorting the paperwork out, even take the news agents team to the gym with me.
The coverage in light of HM The Queen’s death has be careful and insightful. Never easy, hard to prepare for. These are rare events. If there’s a positive from any of this turmoil is ditching the introduction where voices of Prince Andrew and Donald Trump are played back. Please, keep up the excellent coverage, please feel no need to revisit the Woking pizza or I know who you are quotes.”

“I have historically listened to you all in your individual roles on the BBC and enjoyed your journalistic reporting. I feel, however that jumping on the podcast train has been the wrong choice - journalistically and in your individual standing. I’m afraid the chummy presentation, BT adverts,...”Read full review »
