people shouldn't drink cow's milk in a first place
omg the background hum of the factory super annoying and distracting
A great pod which is informative and educational as well
I think you have to remember during the referendum campaign, any mention of trading issues after brexit was bashed down with the word ' scaremongering', this ultimately impacted how trading issues were communicated to businesses.....it is interesting to see 'scaremongering' isn't used by politicians as much now as some of those previous concerns has become reality.
whats with the new gingle in the middle of some one talking poor editing and its really annoying. get rid please .
why does podcast take so long to download each day i get in my car at 6.30am and that days is still not available to listen to so I am always a day behind.
I agree with Andy. For the last week we have been given a podcast less than 30 minutes from the previous 40+ minutes. We now get stupidly loud sound effects and a new icon. Is this an improvement? No way.
shows are getting shorter every day used to be a 40+ min shiw now 28 min cut backs shocking.
why do this team who can e so good have so little imagination or is it like thomas cook the bosses who say what goes and the big brother bbc not an independant view.
omg another day of thomas cook rubbish , there more new in the business world .
what a rubbish show all about thomas cook its a money programme about all subjects of money not just one dinosaur company who failed to change.
Matteo Salvini is NOT italy's first prime minister (thank god)
Love this show, so informative
