“Only just found your show and thought your podcast on the genocide of the Palestinian people was profoundly moving and extremely thought provoking and excellent 👏👏👏🌟
Please be aware that Barklay’s Bank who had an advert before your recent show about Boris Johnson and Trump funds the selling of...”Read full review »

“This one resonated like nothing else. I was in bits during the closing seconds, it was a perfect ending to a brutally honest analysis of what few other broadcasters are brave enough to tackle. I hope the UK’s government listen to this and are shamed into action, although I doubt they’ve got the...”Read full review »

“So far I’ve got my daughter, a couple of friends and a mate’s boyfriend to follow the show. It’s great cos now we can refer to The Trawl, have a laugh and all know what we mean. As a political show addict it really makes the second half of my week.”

“As an English person living in South Carolina I find your podcast medicinal. The day after the debate I walked into the office to witness republican colleagues passing around a photo of a Somali immigrant walking along with a goose in his hand. Completely unspecified photograph in every way yet...”Read full review »

“Disappointing but not surprising to hear the English riots referred to as “UK”. If there were only riots in Aberdeen, Dundee , Glasgow and Edinburgh would that be UK? Obviously they would be referred to as Scottish riots.That aside two excellent back to back episodes .”

“I love this Podcast. Jemma & Marina are intelligent, hilarious, absolutely brilliant and fact check everything, unlike some. They are a joy to listen to, I look forward to their new episodes each week.
I really wish they had their own tv show.

“It’s a little thrill for me when I see that a new episode of this is out. I’ve cried laughing twice in my life, both times at this podcast:
“Maybe Donald Trump is a Cheryl Cole fan”.

Thank you.”

“I love this podcast, but the (excellent) interview with James O’Brien brought up something that’s been on my mind for the last few weeks - no one who is employed by the Global Media empire seems willing to bring up the subject of Sangita Myska.”

“Marina & Jemma, I’m so shocked by the hypocrisy of your Russell brand episode. You’re clearly condemning him with no evidence but then ridiculing anybody who defends him with the same lack of evidence. Like your show, he highlights government corruption and promotes social justice. You’d...”Read full review »
