“I am actually an optimist.” Amol Rajan and Nick Robinson explain why there are plenty of reasons to feel cheerful in 2025. Listen to The Today Podcast on BBC Sounds 🔊

@amolrajan @bbcnickrobinson @BBCSounds The fact they are ridiculously overpaid might be one of them.

@amolrajan @bbcnickrobinson @BBCSounds If reporting was more balanced, we wldn't hve 2 try so hard 2 find the positive. U shldn't have to look at grim news & forensically examine & restate, for some glimmer of positivity. Imagine if you had 1 podcast episode of good news. It's a new yr with blue sky 2day time 4 change

@amolrajan @bbcnickrobinson @BBCSounds BBC News has done sterling work keeping the British people misinformed about every issue that really matters to them.

@amolrajan @bbcnickrobinson @BBCSounds On BBC R4's 'Feed Back 'programme, broadcast today, a listener actually mentioned the right-wing baised nature of the reporting and interviewing on 'Today'. It's been noticed and that's why 'Today' - sadly - has lost both credibility and listeners. Big Time...

@amolrajan @bbcnickrobinson @BBCSounds Noted nothing about the Islamic terrorist attack in New Orleans. Also your report accidentally(?) misquoted the M15 threat report as 25% Islamicists. It's actually 75% with right wing at 25. Noted the BBC has never actually stated Islamicist figure since publication?

@amolrajan @bbcnickrobinson @BBCSounds Here’s another reason to be cheerful - c bomb 12 secs or a highly unusual / unfortunate double barrelled surname 😃.

@amolrajan @bbcnickrobinson @BBCSounds Because the government who seem to control the BBC have ordered you to put government policies into a good light.

@amolrajan @bbcnickrobinson @BBCSounds Who are they ?

@amolrajan @bbcnickrobinson @BBCSounds There is nothing good left in this country. It’s a failed nation.
