“I have a lot in common with Matt, both from Nottingham and mad Forest fans. I love comedy and politics too. We are at different ends of the Labour Party although I think Matt might have left and not sure if he’s rejoined. I enjoy the wide range of guests he has and his general style but...”Read full review »

“Matt Forde is such a top listen, yes he had his own politics but he has a charm that enables him to get the very best from his guests. All the while ready with a good natured comic remark to lift the mood.
5 stars all the way, keep going Matt such great content!”

“So glad Matt is back and just as good as ever. Mogg was interesting, and I love the respectful way the interview flowed. It would be dull if we just listened to people we agree with. Thanks Matt. Oasis reunion is on the cards :)”

“Thank you for this; Shana sounds amazing! I think there should be more politicians who are balanced and reasonable. I hope she perseveres against the horrible elements trying to hijack democracy.
Could be a topic for British Scandal...”

“I am astonished at the degree of warmth that Matt brings to his interviews, especially with candidates whose views are very different to his own. He manages to get behind the rhetoric to the humanity of the candidates. A perfect antidote to the cynicism that so many feel about politics and...”Read full review »

“Your interviews with local candidates is going some way to restore my hope Matt. It’s really good to hear people who are genuinely committed and want to fix things in their local community. It’s also humanising candidates in a way TV just doesn’t at the moment. It would be good to keep some of...”Read full review »

The podcast remains funny, and who knew that politicians can make jokes, but has matured into the longest form political interview show I have found. The...”Read full review »

“It’s so refreshing to hear an intellectual discussion of issues unlike the sound bite interviews you get from the mainstream media. This is where you realise that most MPs are good people trying to make our country better, even if you ultimately disagree with how they achieve that.”

“As much as love the variety of guests that appear on this show and hopefully you will be able to get Jason Williamson on at some point), the most recent episode let you down, Matt. Never have I heard such a woe-is-me interview. Hopefully come July 5th, we’ll see a change in Nottingham East.”
