“Thank you for this episode. I believe the police is an essential and important service our society and the world simply couldn’t survive without.
It is getting far too negative media reporting just now. I still can’t understand how people can engage with the idea of debunking police power- but...”Read full review »

“Interesting content but the feed doesn’t work if you pause and then try to continue later it gets stuck and just buffers. So you can only listen to an entire episode if you do it in one stretch.”

“A few of the podcasts I have listened to have been well researched and provide genuinely balanced insight. Unfortunately many others are horrendously biased and unbalanced. I noticed this particularly f from the journalists who have worked/work for the guardian et al.”

“Basia is great. The podcast on a British citizen being arrested in India was very informative and unsettling. But the anti-Brexit sentiment outbreak towards the end was a bit too convenient and showed a bias that didn’t add to the story.”

“Great listening with tortoise - super high quality content. However listening through apple podcasts, at least a few times, the podcast just keeps loading and never plays or plays for a bit and then starts loading indefinitely. If they can sort this out it’s 5 stars”
