“It’s occurred to me for years now to come and write a review of this show just to question the strategy of placing Olly Mann as the host. The style of the show needs a more relaxed moderator. He’s on a totally different wavelength to that which the show’s format of interested and curious discussion is trying to ferment. I find his presence so obtrusive that I only bother to listen to about a third of the episodes, which is a shame. Even if he’s one of those marmite Jeremy Clarkson-esque divisive public figures, which by reading previous reviews he seems to be, I still don’t understand why that would make him a good host for this type of thought-provoking discussion. When someone else fills in for him it’s almost a perfect show. Interestingly I heard him on a radio 4 show and found him fine there.”

“Listening to the latest episode, the hosts mentioned crisis hotlines in US, UK, and Australia... but not Canada. Am I the only Canadian listener? Why go out the way to be inclusive of other English-speaking countries just to exclude Canada? Australia has a population of 25 million but Canada...”Read full review »
