meg0930.I really like this podcast and the content however I’m not untested in the deeper dive, I wish you could take a leaf out of the BBC history and split the deeper dive episodes and the main episodes up so you are not inundated with the extra subscription episodes.

mandy macmillanHannah NThe interviewer of the doctor who saved her husband's life from a superbug was an absolute idiot! Why did he find it necessary to giggle throughout the entire interview? Her account was fascinating, he was an annoying distraction.

AnnaB68Big Bang epGreat episode! One piece of advice for the hostess: try not to giggle as a response while your guest is talking. A word, or even silence, is better. Good luck!
