Looks at the key topic from different angles.
Well worth a listen
Great reporting, interesting topics & viewpoints
I love the TiF podcast - it’s my lunchtime catch up on what is going on. Keep up the good work. I’ve particularly enjoyed the election coverage (all the better that there’s been an amazing result!).
Was Good.
Great podcast, but why is it suddenly about politics EVERY DAY?!
