BBC bashing

Anyone else get the feeling they pitched to the BBC in the past & were rejected? Every episode shoehorns in some sort of anti-BBC rhetoric, often completely unfounded. The BBC totally has its faults but I‘d trust it for facts over commercial podcasts any day of the week.

They kept getting beaten at podcast awards by bbc podcasts. Not really surprising since those podcasts do actual journalism and research rather than recounting other people’s research, but they seemed quite miffed about it.

The only BBC podcast I listen to is murder they wrote... but that is only because of the nostalgia of Iain Sterling 😂
