This has some fantastic guests and is a must listen for people interested in the media. But, the host, while clearly knowing his stuff, works against its potential. He's relentlessly sycophantic to all guests (even Satan himself, Alastair Campbell) and talks far too much - interrupting, talking about himself (ex-Labour councillor, wife, teetotal, vegetarian), name dropping, finishing guests' sentences, giving his opinions. If he was more selective with his contributions, this would be an exceptional and less irritating listen.
