Fifty voyages, two co-pilots, one podcast

Journalist Rod Liddle joins Allison Pearson and Liam Halligan to mark fifty voyages to Planet Normal. 1.5 million downloads later, Allison has finally learnt what a podcast is. On this week's birthday rocket, Rod tells our co-pilots why "Super Thursday" isn't really so super, and what it was really like editing the Today programme at the "monolithic" BBC.

Also on the show: Allison shares a glimpse into her exploding mailbox following her recent calls for GP surgeries to end virtual appointments, Liam tells listeners why he believes Sir Keir Starmer has yet to successfully forge a centre-left coalition as the country goes to the polls, and there's a birthday surprise in store for our co-hosts.

Allison and Liam will be replying to comments beneath this article on Thursday 6th May from 11am-12pm: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/2021/05/06/rod-liddle-bbc-has-monolithic-culture/ |
