False Impressions
16 Mar
This is always excellent and informative, if sometimes (without Emily Maitlis) a bit too manic, borderline hysterical. But could everyone advise Lewis Goodall to stop trying to do Trump impressions? They’re no good.
Mostly good
20 Mar
Love Emily and Jon, the weak link is Lewis. He tries to talk like Trump ( he can’t) , he says quote unquote all the time which is infuriating and unnecessary. He often starts a sentence and then diverts multiple times to bring in other points before finishing the original sentence. It’s often hard work listening to him. It’s a shame as he does have some knowledge and good observations to make.
Brilliant Journalism
19 Mar
Love it. Especially the impressions. Keep up the good work.
Is Labour mirror of Trump?
19 Mar
I’m beginning to think that Labour is using the slip stream of USA as way in which to destroy social care You have a fools in power the health minister is a ill informed person who constantly shows lack of understanding in health care diagnoses You then do the same by mistakenly not knowing what the public stats are trying to say Let’s get facts straight please As for USA well why do you give this lunacy oxygen ! Why are you not talking about war in Palestine and the genocide It’s lacking depth
The elephant is in the room
18 Mar
You aren’t talking about Gaza… I don’t understand why? You must be aware that a genocide is happening. It’s like the film The Zone of Interest. Only you won’t look and see. Please say something.
Refreshingly informative
18 Mar
At Last … A podcast with plain straight forward talk ..Given up on the BBC and ITN and Sky News ..now listen everyday to the team .It’s my highlight of the day . Thank you Newsagents for bringing sensible talk back to the UK .
Getting tiring
15 Mar
While overall listenable, can feel self indulgent with the presenters enjoying the academia of talking. Hearing John talk about DE&I was excruciating. The constant acknowledgment of ‘flooding the zone’ as a manipulative tactic while continuing to be manipulated by addressing the so-called flooding by over responding to the nonsense while largely seeming to ignore the local issues that directly impact people day to day (admittedly Louis does this more and better). The leasehold/property service charge was a great example - it was quickly moved past today to refer to trump coins.
Chasing the next story
16 Mar
Here they complain about not focusing on a story which lets Trump off with loads of terrible things. They then bounced around a loads of things. If you know how to do journalism better and choose not to then we’re lost.
Excellent
10 Mar
Lewis and Ash was absolute gold dust podcast. Really engaging and proper pointy-headed discussions peppered with humour. Please get Gary (Economics) and Ash together.
Please course correct _/\_
12 Mar
Have loved the daily digest from the Newsagents. In short the ‘flooding the zone’ from Trump is in danger of ruining this podcast. I hoped you’d push that content to the USA version in the main. If you look at titles from the last few weeks ‘Trump’ features in every single one. Please course correct. I can’t believe you’re going to spend the next 4 years leading with Trump on every podcast. He is not ‘our’ President.
