There is a gaping lack of chemistry between hosts Chris and Lizzie. He seems to want to overwhelm, interrupt, and generally talk over her every word. She may take longer to form her thoughts, but there is Chris, interrupting her mid-sentence every time! I don’t think Chris knows his to listen....Read full review »

Is there any way the female podcaster could have some space to speak. It’s insufferable to have to endure the constant interruption from the guy. Can they not take turns and can he stay in his lane when she has got something to share so we can finally hear it. He keeps derailing the conversation....Read full review »

Chris Ship, what kind of shrub is this? Rushing out a podcast to save your job??! Chris Ship is sexist, just talks over the female commentator. And, he gets lots of facts wrong. Terrible podcast.

Ok
Hard to listen to because the male commentator constant interrupts, corrects and talks over the female commentator. He will ask for her opinion and then within seconds cut her off every single episode!

The incessant interruptions when Lizzy is speaking are rude, unprofessional, distracting and make the podcast all but unlistenable. Please let her voice be heard.

I am incredibly disappointed in the coverage of the Princess of Wales and Chris Ship acting as if she ran over his family cat. It’s ironic that he pulled his photo down that had been heavily photoshopped once caught being a hypocrite. Love Lizzy but not enough to continue to listen. I am an...Read full review »

Lovely show. But I can’t help but be bothered by all of the times this gentleman interrupts his partner. Just some constructive criticism, it’s a great show.

I can hear Lizzie can not hear Chris ! Please bring the voices up to even so I don’t have to change my volume with each speaker !

Love the level of info that’s shared on this show, but the production values make listening difficult, particularly the volume discrepancies between the hosts.

Chris came good for a bit and stopped talking over Lizzie but he’s regressed again sadly

Great content, really knowledgable hosts. I echo the review that Chris interrupts too much. Let your co-Host finish her thought please! You lost a star for that ! But i will keep listening, w fingers crossed.
jjenm9 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/13/23
The content is amazing but Cris really needs to quit interrupting Lizzy when she speaks. I can imagine it irritates her also. The show is great and I love how detailed the information is!
Whit 209 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/25/23
Hey there! Does anyone at ITV actually read the reviews? It's really important that someone takes the time to read them and have a chat with Chris. He seriously needs to stop interrupting Lizzie all the time. It's becoming a recurring issue and most of the reviews mention how unhappy they...Read full review »

I followed this to hear about the royals. It seems the hosts are more in love with the Sussexes and their antics and lies. Also had to unfollow on all other social media accounts. Maybe if they get back to reporting on the good work the REAL royals are doing I will follow again. Until then...Read full review »
Fly guy 2022 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/07/23
I have listened for a long while and I agree with a previous review - although the content is detailed and balanced, the podcast is spoiled by Chris. He patronises Lizzie with quizzes, and talks over her frequently. Lizzie is clearly well briefed and knowledgable. Chris, please rethink your...Read full review »
BigChiefGreyFeathers via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/03/23
The content is interesting and and goes into good detail. Chris however borders being unbearable to listen to. He talks over Lizzie and sounds condescending when constantly ‘quizzing’ her on Royal details. Also, his segways are cringy. Lizzie is fantastic and the podcast would greatly benefit...Read full review »

I would love to listen more, but Chris you must stop interrupting Lizzie… she can’t finish a sentence without you jumping in. Go easier on the coffee - or have a jog before the show. We want to hear from her!
km713 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/12/23
This podcast could be so good but the male host is so pompous and rude to the female host. He talks over her, degrades her and it is very distracting and disheartening as a listener.
Kblouisbreviews via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/15/23
I’d love to keep listening but he INSISTS on talking over her every single time. He’s smug and pompous and is totally disrespectful. Unsubscribed.
Wilpud via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/07/23
Appreciate some of the on the ground insight but the fake outrage and pretentious discussion of the Royal Family is a bit much. Supposedly the reporters job is to know the family inside out, but yet they try to pretend that Harry might be out of the line of succession, that Archie & Lilibet...Read full review »

Lizzie and Hugh have exceptional chemistry!! I loved hearing what he had to say and he was so nice to Lizzie instead of Chris Ship always talking down to her. I quit listening when Chris is on there. Today with Hugh was delightful!! Lizzie deserves a wonderful cohost!!
Lolo13419 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/23/23
I love this show and particularly enjoyed the shows last podcast with the man from the Buckingham Palace news room . He was excellent . He had good analysis and he and Lizzy seemed to pair well . He is an improvement from Chris Ship’s brashness. I do wish we had gotten some kind of announcement...Read full review »

The girl on the show is a total idiot. Must be some work for the male host to carry the conversation with such an air head. But then again he doesn’t sound so smart himself either.
playsingmama via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/28/23
Of all the ridiculous things said about the H&M Netflix series on the Jan 6 episode was the podcasters’ apparent offense to Meghan talking about her first meeting with Her Majesty. M so obviously wasn’t mocking her husband’s grandmother the Queen, about whom she spoke throughout the series...Read full review »

Sound quality - is it recorded outside, needs an sound engineer to monitor output - okay content
Rightist he via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/15/23
Everyone making assumptions about Spare, having not even read the book, just sound silly and a bit spiteful. Odd, since this is exactly what the media wanted; full unfiltered access to the Sussexes. Be careful what your wish for.
ES 013 via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 01/13/23
Obviously this podcast requires royalty’s input/story. So it’s going to be biased towards royalty… rather than M&H? A bit like Hello mag, on a podcast!
Debmoo via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/07/23
I have not tuned into this Podcast in several years. Out of curiosity I listened to a few minutes of the commentary on Prince Harry’s book. Had I been to give zero stars and right a review I would have done so. Flippant, dismissive sad relics. Happily deleting this podcast from my library.
#Teamboth via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/06/23
He constantly interrupts and talks over her. Lizzie is completely the opposite; too meek and soft spoken. It’s a shame because she often has the more informed point of view.

Hasn’t been a weekly podcast for months
Chukky99 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/17/22
I like the Royal Rota podcast. I think it’s one of the best and pretty straight forward . But for all your complaining about Kate and Will being so over shadowed by the shenanigans of M&H, talking about how “ what is on the front page, not EarthShot news but The Netflix teaser,” etc yet there...Read full review »

Interesting but would be much better is Chris learned to stop interrupting Lizzie and guests. He also talks too fast.
Jaleana via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/14/22
Podcasts are much more fun to listen to when the commentators seem to be friends and enjoy working with each other. The male presenter (Chris?) is extremely biting and critical. There is so clearly tension between him and his colleague. It’s wearing to listen to. Even though I’m interested in the...Read full review »

I keep coming back to this Podcast and am reminded why I unsubscribed. Chris is a complete bully. He speaks down to Lizzie, over the top of her, belittles her, taunts her. Truly awful.
ElleinOz via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/05/22
Usually this good, but this week was too much about the climate, Cop 27 and Earthshot
ond37&5af via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/05/22
Please fix you audio. Its terrible
1californiafan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/23/22
Why is the sound quality for the male voice always iffy? It is very annoying to listen to. Apart from that I generally enjoy pod content.
NorthernLil via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/21/22
They have a lot of insight. However it is absolutely obnoxious how Chris manages to interrupt his colleagues constantly. They describe one particular moving moment during the queen‘s funeral and the guy manages to interrupt even that with his own story. He just won’t stop. Someone stop him...Read full review »

Professional, and well-sourced information. Chris and Lizzie make a great team! I especially enjoy their interviews. I look forward to it weekly.
Househunter5489 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/09/22
I enjoy this podcast, great insight and guests however I wish the guests weren’t cut off by the host Chris so much. Let the guests speak. In fact Chris cuts off Lizzie frequently. The show would be better with just one host, Lizzie. I find she brings the topic back to the guest and is very...Read full review »
