    Outstayed Welcome
    I was fine with the pithy elitism of this show until it became interspersed with pro-Israeli propaganda regularly. I now find it abhorrent.

    Stumble laugh cry
    Andrew muller’s monologues - and associated bruitages - have made me laugh so much, my neighbors now change sidewalks as they see me laugh-stumble up the road listening to this podcast. This radio show deserves an all the awards.

    sophomoric and biased
    If you are looking for a podcast which presents interesting topics and then destroys the discussion with pompous sixth-form comments, you’ve found the right one. The sardonic tone and bias of the host is obnoxious, and distracts from the substantive material. I think that I will stick to the FT.

    Biased with a Perspective
    The reporters on this podcast are extremely biased against conservatism and routinely personally insult conservative politicians and conservative people. The perspective on European politics is interesting, but the bias is very palpable.

    More Monocle!
    I’m a sucker for anything Monocle puts out, but this podcast definitely earned its spot. I listen to 4 regular daily news podcasts every day so the prospect of making it 5 seemed unlikely. Not only does this show get into great detail, but the 1 hr typical duration is truly impressive for a daily show. Thank you for all your work!

    Thoughtful and entertaining
    This podcast consistently provides high entertainment value while being informative.
  • Pichichi-
    The anti Trump podcast
    They loathe how Trump dominates the news headlines yet spend a good chunk talking about him. Not a days goes by without a Marie Le Pen reference as well. Otherwise, a decent podcast if you enjoy listening to the liberal elite slant on news.

    Relevant and excellent
    I listen to many podcasts, and always prioritize Monocle 24 above all others. The magazine is superb and I find the brief very informative and I love the sense of humor of the hosts.

    Russian propaganda
    If you listen carefully to how they spin issues, The Briefing is an upmarket version of Russia Today.

    Look elsewhere
    Not any more useful than reading headlines on your phone while taking a dump. Sorry, but there isn't much that is fresh about this podcast's perspective, imo.
