“TL;DR The first few mins were such tripe, I switched off. Recommend listening to ‘Oh God, What Now’ instead.
First, in fairness I should say that I didn’t get very far with this, since after 5 mins I switched off (but then as newspaper columnists have known for years, you need to get your readers’ attention in the first 2 paras, or you have lost them; they just move on to something else).
But in those 5 minutes I felt that I was eavesdropping on a group of friends talking about themselves. For example:
One of them was to have interviewed Kier Starmer. We hear about her anticipation; her disappointment at the interview not proceeding; her feelings as Starmer comes over to shake her hand. Nothing on Starmer.
Then we move to her colleague who proceeds to recount the breakfast conversation with her family, whether raisins are pointless, being inside vs outside London in the event of nuclear war.
By this time, the 5 minute mark had been reached and nothing had been said of any interest to anyone outside their circle of immediate friends & family.
Possibly it got better later on. But first 2 paragraphs…
For an example of how to get this sort of thing right, listen to ‘Oh God, What Now’, which never fails to entertain.”

“Do you ever, sometimes, feel completely overwhelmed by the lack of transparency, decency, not to mention direction from the powers that be? Perhaps you are startled by the ‘meanness’ directed at some of the poorest, most vulnerable members of society by our politicians and mokingly reported by...”Read full review »
