“I listen to thought for the day last thing before I go to sleep- and my favorite is Sir Mirvis. Every sentence has a deeper meaning. The warm, kind voice is like a comforting blanket, the message clear with hope for the world.
Some sentences I write down. Pls come on air more often

“I am a Christian but I find the contributions from a Jewish perspective very wise, kind, thoughtful and comforting- five stars for this when he and his colleagues contribute. I find some of the Christian commentators not in the same league!”

“We need to remember that King was a serial abuser of women, as well as the well known campaigner for black rights. An interesting mixture of good and bad, like all of us.”

“I like everything about this except the slight variety of perspectives. Christians far outnumber others, and I would love to also hear Neo-Pagans, humanists, Baha’i, Hindus, etc. What I love is the invitation to think on matters personal, social, and spiritual, and the reminder that not...”Read full review »

“Amongst all the trivia and ephemera in our day-to-day lives this short slot in the ‘Today’ Programme gives me the opportunity to reflect on the deeper and more meaningful aspects of life.”

“I have no idea why the BBC continues to push superstitious nonsense in otherwise fact based programming. This should be shunted to the early hours of the morning, or better still, canned completely.
There is a place for fantasy and myth, and that place is in children's books.”Read full review »

“Thought for the day is the worst slot on Radio 4, I'm surprised they've released it as a podcast. It just doesn't deliver - amateurish and no useful content. Maybe you could take it off the air and have it as a podcast only? That way it would be easier to avoid.”Read full review »

“There are plenty thoughts from those of a religious persuasion, but in the UK there are many who have no faith and who have truly inspiring things to say. Why are they discriminated against and excluded from contributing?”

The podcasts come in bunches, which is the only drawback. Give it a week - you won't be disappointed...”Read full review »
