“Could not give 2.5 stars, which would be full marks for Nick Dixon and zero for Toby Young. Why? Because he (Toby) goes on and on and sees complexity everywhere instead of the often simple truths. And he (Toby) is so dull. Actually don,t mind giving Toby a half star just because my dog is called...”Read full review »

“I like Toby and his work for free speech, but Nick is an insufferable incel with a big ego and low self-esteem. If he was American, I’d put him on the mass shooter watch-list.”

“I love the show (5 stars) but am becoming irritated by Nick's regular references to Sunak's height and "under-sized suit" or other digs about his size (which he cannot help). For me these comments cheapen an otherwise excellent podcast.”Read full review »

“I’m a new listener over the last month.
I love the show from start to finish.
Informative and superbly funny.
…and to top it off…you speak my language…I’m hooked.
I spent 4 hours driving yesterday and was gutted I’d already listened to the latest podcast.
Keep up the good work.”

“I do listen to this podcast, I do it because it makes me fall asleep. I believe its the tone of Toby's voice and Nicks incessant moaning about his health that create enough boredom for me to catch some shut eye. Both are misogynistic individuals.”Read full review »

“I used to be, on balance, "Team Toby", but his views on Russia are so obviously and demonstrably wrong, one can only assume he has an alternative agenda. I like that he does not jump down any plausible-sounding rabbit hole, but I find his halfhearted efforts to understand alternative...”Read full review »

Who are the proponents behind the idiot woke...”Read full review »

TIPs FOR TOBY's alcohol reduction plan:
* get used to tonic water only, then for a treat mix in very small amount of gin,
* mix regular guiness with 0% guiness, it tastes the same..
* Come on down to Tooting Bec lido and try cold water swimming... bring the family... you...”Read full review »

However I err on the side of Team Toby in weeks where he displays his most endearing qualities which is when he goes “eeeeeeeeeeee” whilst he is forming his thoughts .
This is said with love.
Keep up the good work.
