A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This is a very useful podcast and i lik e it because of the controvesy surrounding the topic, the fact that they’re less biased than other big names coveting it, and the daily updates are wondeful

neinvksncdksivniwnd · May 2025

I’m really liking the daily update episodes of the trial and have been listening to this pod for months. I will say more so than ever the ads in the episodes are getting longer which is unfortunate because the episodes are already so short, they basically take up half the episode!

Februaryfrenzy · May 2025

I wanted to give a perfect rating, but the American correspondent has a terrible habit of starting every response to the English woman’s questions with the word “yeah”. It takes away from her credibility as a journalist when she sounds like she is gossiping. Other wise, it is a great podcast.
