Hello,
I wait for this show every week like a football(soccer)fan waits for his favorite match. It is one of my favorite programs on the web. If not for me but for your local and uk listeners, Please turn your microphone down Tony. Your fine voice is coming out a bit distorted.
Have yet to listen to the first hour today, however I always listen to your more local hour every week like the second hour. I read Conservative councillor for Horfield Claire Hiscott was the “news review” guest. I do not understand why you don’t fairly but critically interview tory officials as you do others from other parties. And you seem to hold back Martin when a tory is guest on your program.
by the way, If you want to use a more private search engine, more difficult to hack by the NSA , MI6, et al here are a few i know of:

https://www.ixquick.com/
https://duckduckgo.com/
http://www.yandex.com/ although it makes no claims of encryption, it’s servers are in Russia. on the other hand, perhaps the “spooks”(e.g.cia big brother)are crawling all over it. i don’t know
cheers,
