Reviews
Miranda Sawyer in the Observer
- The Oprah Podcast (Harpo) - “The visual approach means, as ever, that certain parts don’t work for audio… Last week’s show, though, is worth a listen. Oprah’s guest is Kristin Cabot, better known as the woman from the viral Coldplay kiss cam…”
- Going Clean Is Dirty Business (Ind.) - “It’s an extraordinary story, with shocking twists and the potential to change the world. But it has problems...”
Patricia Nicol in the Sunday Times
- Everything Is Fake and Nobody Cares (BBC Radio 4) - “As the title predicted I didn’t care that much, or at least not as much as I felt I was being told I should. This is partly because I felt I had heard some of this before.”
James Marriott in the Times
- Strangely (Always True Crime) - “The quirky inconsequentiality of these stories is deftly handled and a refreshing break in a podcast world where every minor hoax or theft has to become a 12-part series. This looks like a very promising new show.”
★★★★☆
Rachel Cunliffe in the New Statesman
- In Bed With The Right (Ind.) - “A weekly exploration of right-wing ideas about sex and gender… is a masterclass on the toxicity of post-Me-Too culture.”
