The News Agents - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Thank you so much for creating a go-to podcast that has interesting guests, in-depth analysis, and - yes - just a bit of mutual teasing. While all three podcasters have high profiles, your podcast is not about you. It’s about the news.

(Dating myself) at times, your show makes me feel like I’m back in the newsroom at The Cherwell, surrounded by impassioned, witty news hounds. Much appreciated!

Insightful, interesting and they address specific issues and then expand the discussion to give a broader view of how that issue effects the UK and the world. Plus - the hosts have great chemistry.

Whether they are discussing UK politics or the US variety, these hosts are always lively - and worth the listen. They also do excellent interviews with newsmakers, and never let politicians off the hook.

As a British expat who’s lived in New York for 20 years and is now living in a different country outside the UK, I value your contributions to international journalism.

I’d do read and listen to the ‘usual suspect’ British media that I suspect most of your listeners also do. But I look to you three for a POV that’s (I like to think) unshackled by iffy governmental constraints or the need to not offend advertisers.

PS. Glad that you changed your intro. As others have said already, we know who you are.

Loved the show initially as a convert from Americast previously. But they’ve really lost the way of being quirky and reflective on the news and issues and just fell into the same old pisspoor diatribe as most higher end left/center media. I’m sure they’ll win some Guardian reader prize for their brave campaigning but it’s just become a tiresome listen. So much potential wasted on being the same sanctimonious preachers as everywhere else. I’ll just skip the episodes with Lewis on his own and see if that’s the problem.

I started out loving this podcast but decided it’s only when all 3 of you are on together, that it’s the best. The Prince Andrew interview where Emily literally CRUSHED him on a global scale was one of the best interviews I’ve ever witnessed!! She is a star!

Lewis invited Katie Nicholl on as a royal expert to talk about poor little Harry which is a joke! Lewis was very disrespectful, unkind, rude and pushy toward Katie. She is a seasoned pro and is used to handling buffoons but there was no need for Lewis to treat her that way. It was a bad look and I have the feeling that IF Emily had been there, the interview would’ve been handled in a much more respectful way. Be better Lewis.
