Some of the questions to Dan were off during this last Ukraine podcast.

I love it! I have listened every day for years - Guardian’s Today in Focus is part of my routine. The stories you tell, the questions you ask and the character of your podcasts have made me cry, laugh and inspired me. So much so, I am now pursuing a career as a journalist. Thank you for all you...Read full review »

I enjoyed the recent topic on Germany’s politics. The questions were relevant and of the guests’s points of view gave me more understanding.

I‘m a regular listener of TiF and it’s always time well spent. Particular praise for today‘s episode about Germany! Perfectly explained and the guests Regina Steffens and John Kampfner were excellent. A special shoutout to the host Helen Pitt (I think?) and her very good pronunciation of German...Read full review »

i love this podcast and regularly look out for it. unfortunately i’m compelled to point out that the way you’ve been reporting two presidential candidates is far from neutral or unbiased. even the reporters interviewed camouflage rather disparaging and unbecoming adjectives when it comes to one...Read full review »

The Guardian's Today in Focus is my favourite podcast along with The New York Times' The Daily. I've listened to Today in Focus every day since 2019, initially with presenters Anushka and Rachel and now with Michael Safi and Helen Pidd. It's my daily dose of balanced and...Read full review »

update— still, the music practically drowns your voice in the beginning. Lucy Hoff: please stop with the gentle, soft voice.

Love the pod
Melopso via Apple Podcasts · Bulgaria · 10/16/24
Plenty focus on Netanyahu's critique of the UN in its many roles, almost nothing of the reasons why Guterres, Spain and Ireland have criticized (only top line descriptions were offered) and so incurred Netanyahu's wrath.Read full review »

A very moving narrative from Ahmet Alnaouk on Gaza. Thank you for not just focusing on the Israeli misery.
Ilkbahar50 via Apple Podcasts · Spain · 10/11/24
I think this podcast is generally excellent - like many of the 5 star reviews - and I am a Guardian supporter. It does important work and is engaging and wide-ranging. My one issue over the years is that often, it doesn’t answer the question it poses or centre the title it suggests. Normally this...Read full review »

Your Podcast is my number 1. The choice of subjects is wonderfully random and sheds light on all different aspects of the matter. I appreciate the fact it’s out so early in the morning as I am an hour ahead on the continent and can listen to it first thing. All the presenter’s voices are...Read full review »

Next time invite a scientist. No reason to deal with such excruciating symptoms with the right diet. I feel Fodmap diet being a sidenote in this episode was very poor science as it is the only thing scientifically proven to help. Not telling people to cut down on foods that make it difficult for...Read full review »

Don’t miss the Lucy&Archie show! Between Archie’s droll resignation to the chaos he’s covering and Lucy’s witty yet sympathetic sotto voce lines of enquiry (and reliable one liners), this nugget of election coverage leaves you informed and amused. Nice work team. 👌

Thank you and keep swinging.
Percy da Cat via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/18/24
The different topics they cover, the research and production put into each episode is all top notch stuff.
gb-o via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/15/24
I was emotional listening to the episode about the Kabin Crew / Lisdoonvarna Crew. Thanks for putting them in the spotlight and showing what community work and investing in kids can achieve, celebrating diversity and the contribution of immigrants to Ireland 👏🏼

I regularly listen to Today in Focus, usually whilst doing housework to relieve the boredom of routine chores! They are very informative pieces on a variety of topics, and today’s episode “The Man who Fell” was particularly touching. I actually found myself stopping and listening intently as it...Read full review »

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a journalist, but it didn’t come to pass because of my social and economic circumstances. Today, listening to the episode “The man who fell to Earth”, I finally understood that dream and why it came to happen to me - telling stories to see if they change anything...Read full review »

Great pod - clear, incisive and well-researched which homes in on the key errors, actions and inactions that caused the disaster - together with related miscreants.
Tontkowalski via Apple Podcasts · Switzerland · 09/07/24
Great work, thanks ! I’m struck by the parallels with the Horizon IT scandal: incompetence, greed, complete disregard for the health and safety of other. “Today in focus” probably did an episode on that as well, I need to look it up !
HeinisV31 via Apple Podcasts · France · 09/06/24
Morning routine is to wake and see what todays topic is. Almost always listen. Absolutely my favourite podcast and irreplaceable part of my morning routine.
hebshdvdjsknfbs via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/06/24
Great series, but I was struck by the phrasing of ‘people whose lives will be saved by early breast cancer detection’ using AI. Ironic in a podcast which mentions disembodiment and the concept of humans simply consisting of an intelligence which could ultimately just be uploaded to a computer....Read full review »

The teams’ best report so far. Beautifully, written, edited and presented. Thanks.

When I subscribe to the podcast, no episodes can be found or played. If I do not subscribe, they are visible. Please fix.

Great, informative and mostly balanced views of the news

I have loved hearing from these women but Holly’s long, scripted intros ruin it. Thank got for the skip 30s button!
gets22 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/20/24
The subjects are well prepared, informative and interesting. Good to know the background of the issues.
JPV_Eagle via Apple Podcasts · Portugal · 08/17/24
I’m literally mouth open listening to the latest episode on scrapping the 2 child policy. Where on earth did you find the guest - the mother of 3 with health issues. “The policy should not apply to people like me because I have HIV and it’s hard to find someone to unconditionally love me and so...Read full review »

I love this podcast! It’s so interesting, well-produced and presented and covers so many important topics. As well as topics you didn’t even know you were interested in! It’s a really accessible way to become informed on recent events.

Thank you for the podcast on tourism in Spain. We locals basically can’t afford an average rent. Tourism needs to be re-oriented both for a better experience for visitors and sustainability for locals.
MinaBay via Apple Podcasts · Spain · 08/01/24
Such powerful and valuable journalism - thank you
Yorkshire lass in Oz via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/28/24
This podcast has extremely informative, gives the detail on pertinent issues whilst also being emotionally intelligent. How it does this while maintaining its objectivity, im not quite sure but it does. I absolutely love this pod. So well rounded, so emotive, so informative and so human.

If you never saw Kamala in action when she was in the senate you don’t know Kamala. Kamala as vp had to stay low key. Kamala is going to kick trump’s butt from here to Chins and he won’t even know what hit him. it is going to be glorious just as glorious as she was chewing up and spitting out...Read full review »

Really like this podcast. Very well researched with good content. Looks at the key topic from different angles. Well worth a listen

Great podcast, but why is it suddenly about politics EVERY DAY?!
Standardpoodle via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/09/24
I love the TiF podcast - it’s my lunchtime catch up on what is going on. Keep up the good work. I’ve particularly enjoyed the election coverage (all the better that there’s been an amazing result!).

This is the good stuff - gives a balanced view.

Lnuti via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/05/24
I’ve been a listener for quite a few years now, but found myself not always listening to the episodes before the election. That changed since the election, and I’ve been listening every day. The episodes have been really enjoyable and great to get a bite sized review of what’s going on in the...Read full review »

This podcast is essential listening at a time where misinformation is dominating social media and so called news and current affairs on our television screens.

I thought this episode was exceptionally good.
