upbeat commentary

I listen to lots of political pods and this is one of my favourites. Female voices on a range of serious topics, down to earth, interesting and humorous. Doesn't take itself too seriously.

no mansplaining

This podcast has settled in to be excellent: incisive and down to earth. A refreshing change from the mansplaining of other political podcasts.

I understood that😁

Though love the friendly chat and banter the way you break it down in a way that us who are trying to work out what on earth is going on as politics quite often seems like a massive traffic jam with everyone yelling and honking and a few just going round and round the roundabout occasionally signalling turning and then just going round again so thank you so much and hey I managed my descriptions without expletives😁😁

Boring

Someone has got to create wealth and jobs - you would not having fun podcasting if it was all about anti-business Labour …. So your pro-labour it’s best sucks. End!
