Thank you Dave! Hope your podcast is going well… 🙏

Thanks Rob 🙏

Many thanks Angelina 🙏

What a loss for the BBC; there goes my favorite program. Thanks a ton, Stephen, for everything you and your team have done over the years. Mind-boggling that HARDtalk was cancelled – and at such a turbulent time – but I hope your 'new adventures' include it somehow continuing in a different form.

Your final Hardtalk episode was an evocative reminder of the gross error in judgement by the BBC. It's been an invaluable public accountability engine. Thank you for all you've done to make it so. As the US moves into theatrical abuse of power, its cancellation is utterly incomprehensible.

Thank you Lucentia!

Just when we needed you most 😔

Sorry about that Stephen, hope you go on to great things and we one day get a BBC back to be proud of

Thank you!🙏

Thank you so much for so many years of the best, most interesting & inspiring interviews available, holding people accountable for their actions & never letting the powerful get away with shallow phrases & excuses. It is a, huge, unforgivable mistake of @bbcworldservice.bsky.social to end Hardtalk.

The BBC wouldn’t recognise quality broadcasting if it was hit over the head with it. Very sorry to hear your going but much looking forward to your new platform.

So sad but thank you for the excellent and hard talks during all these years!

Just at the time when the world needs more of your fearless journalism. Thank you for all those years of speaking truth to power.

You will be desperately missed. Thank you for the contributions to understanding the world
today. Best wishes going forward.
