Where is the podcast

It’s Mon 20 Jan nearly 3pm...still no podcast from Sun 19. I love this program, will have to listen on Sounds .... is that reason for being late? You want us to go to Sounds. I dislike Sounds intensely too much chat about things I have no interest in

Today is Sunday 29 March ...22.49hrs STILL UNABLE to listen to Paddy @BH FOR GOODNESSES SAKE SORT IT OUT.

The Archers Omnibus managed to go to podcast straight after show .... what is the problem with BH?

Jane Garvey, who is better?

Paddy O’Connell really it’s just a nasty Tory Government mouthpiece and a Brexit dumbass.

Jane Garvey is excellent

This programme is so much better with Jane Garvey presenting! So nice to have a break from Paddy O’Connell’s sense of humour, which is generally outdated and spiteful. I like to tune in for a Sunday analysis of the day’s news but have started to dread his jokes - cheap laughs at someone else’s expense (normally a woman). By contrast Jane is sophisticated, clever and naturally witty. I hope they replace Paddy with Jane, or at least tell him to stop trying to be funny and stick to the news.
