Enjoying listening to these mini podcasts. If you want to know how it operates at City Hall or looking for balanced coverage of events and people, this is the podcast for you.
Concise and informative.
I have downloaded all of these audioboos. I have found them an invaluable source of information and a good way to get the inside track on the political scene in London. The interviewer comes across well and gives equal opportunity to all the political voices in the capital. Recommended to anyone with an interest in politics.
