Insightful, Informative, Entertaining

I was surprised to see that this podcast has no reviews in the US! I am a Californian who is very interested in UK politics, especially post-Brexit. I started out lisenting to Brexitcast, but found it to be too freewheeling and ultimately uninformative. Podlitical is the perfect antidote: in addition to all the Brexit news, I also get general UK politics, with an emphasis on the Scottish Parliament, which is not something you hear much about! The hosts are very appealing: informed, intelligent, and witty, and they are generous about spending time educating the listener on the finer points of UK civics. They keep to topic and do not interrupt each other. It is a warm, friendly listen that I enjoy greatly.
