we missed the whole brexit portion due to the outro playing over the top of it!!!
Nasty sniff you've got there Lewis...
An excellent, civilised, enlightening conversation. No polemics- just top notch, intelligent talk.
Fascinating insights into political interviewing, and some of the greats of the medium.
Super podcast Iain, and well "chaired" (ie, you let your knowledgeable interviewee speak). Bill.
Late to the party on Iain Dale but this is great! And Iain is right. Peter Allen should write a book!
Very poor quality recording, really struggling to listen.
I had to turn the volume up to max to hear Jess - then turn it down hastily each time that Iain's very loud voice came in. Even worse in the questions section. I persevered, though, as she's an interesting speaker.
