Steven Bartlett's long interviews with founders, doctors and celebrities. Hugely popular and highly produced; also one of the most criticised shows for health claims from guests going unchallenged.

Praised for

  • Polished production and emotional, personal conversations.
  • Wide range: business, psychology, health, relationships.

Common criticisms

  • A BBC analysis found many health claims by guests went unchallenged; listeners say fact-check the medical episodes.
  • Clickbait titles and very long sponsor segments.
