“What a peculiar odyssey of inner turmoil Toby Young is experiencing. The melancholy in his voice is palpable. I could have been a Special Adviser to David Cameron, but instead, I find myself deep in conversation with someone who believes that Acid House ravers will burn in hell for, well, being...”Read full review »

“I was an avid listener from the start and enjoyed the banter. It got me through Brexit and Covid. But James pro Putin / Russia take at the start of the war was just unacceptable. James talks about the Ukrainians like they are sad, uneducated, duped people who follow NATO propaganda. Like they...”Read full review »

“Was always a good listen, sadly could see the end from a fair way off with the friction of differing viewpoints.
Right from the start James showed the tolerance of most zealots. Only once did I try having a drink each time he used the term “cuck”.
Interesting political period they broadcast...”Read full review »

“I know James has jumped the shark but I LOVE how he gets to say exactly what he wants and Toby always has a great riposte… it’s such an interesting and free conversation. And it’s clearly underpinned by a lot of love and shared history. Free speech at its best.”

“Great podcast. Kept me sane throughout this madness.
Such a shame that TY couldn’t keep it civil and just went out of his way to mock James without even trying to understand.
A shame the podcast had to end.”

Is Toby Young the least curious journalist in modern times? He might gain something from listening to The Delingpod.”
