“And a forum for big viral debates on the big issues like the Israel/Hamas and Russia/Ukraine wars, the US presidential election, and the crises hitting the British royal family.”

It’s especially pleasing to see the average watch-time for every view is really strong. Piers’ producers, bookers, researchers, social team and crew are world class. Together they are a well-oiled traffic machine.”
