Sensationalist headlines

I normally listen to and really like this pod that I'm afraid the headline put me off on this occasion – how the hell could Trump be the best thing that happened to anybody?
You can’t beat the BBC

In this era of fake news, biased broadcasting etc the BBC continues to excel in the quality of its broadcasts. This is especially true of its news and current affairs coverage - always fair, challenging and accurate. I am reminded of Gorbachev under house arrest. Who did he trust for news from the outside world- the BBC. Of course he did!!! Katy’s, Laura, Adam, Chris and everyone behind the scenes - keep up the good work ; you are appreciated!!
Ridiculous

I used to listen to this podcast as a different perspective on events but it’s getting worse. All the episodes lately can be easily cut in half as they’re talking nonsense. Let alone all these ridiculous things people keep coming up with, remota voter, etc. You’re supposed to be a news podcast so report on the news. I think knitting would be more beneficial to just have Laura, Chris and fizel reporting and doing the podcast, even if it was one a week at least we have a more in depth understanding of what is happening in the world.
Great podcast

Love this podcast, but think some care should be taken about referring to Chris and Keir having a Netflix and Chill 🤭
