Reviews
Miranda Sawyer in the Observer
- Remember Me? (Mike Drop Studios) - “This is a timely, sympathetic show that will no doubt have a lot of celebrities to choose from, especially now the 00s – the era of the loopiest reality shows – are coming back into focus.”
- The Book Club (Goalhanger) - “Our presenters are the clever and charming Dominic Sandbrook… and the unknown Tabitha “Tabby” Syrett… lively, informed and funny. Her teasing of Sandbrook seemed a little forced for this first episode, but that will change as they relax.”
- Blood Will Tell (Audible and Campside) - “The story of Vietnamese-American twin brothers, Trung and Anh, who go to a party and get into a fight. One stabs a guy to death, but, through a series of policing mistakes, the other twin goes to prison for the crime.”
Patricia Nicol in the Sunday Times
- Fela Kuti: Fear No Man (Higher Ground) - “This is a firecracker of a series. It is an invigorating show, fizzing with ideas, colour and wayward craziness — all of it driven by propulsive beats — and a welcome counterblast to the bleakness of February and the news cycle.”
James Marriott in the Times
- The Book Club (Goalhanger) - “Sandbrook is an all-time broadcasting talent. Not only extremely funny but also a preternaturally lucid talker… And the enjoyably forthright, no-nonsense Syrett doesn’t seem like a simperer either. Together they have a nice cross-generational dynamic.”
★★★★★
Tanjil Rashid in the New Statesman
- The Book Club (Goalhanger) - “The new fiction-focused show has grown out of their behind-the-scenes literary chats; it’s also essentially in keeping with the passion for narrative in the podcasts they’ve already been producing.”
