Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 4.3k ratings
  • Too many ads

    I like this PC but unfortunately I’m probably going to ditch it because there’s just too many ads. Especially after listening for about 4 minutes, then 2 or 3 ads! Too much.

  • Essential listening

    I’m surprised at some of the 1 star reviews- it just shows that we live in a world where people can only think in extremes.

    7am went through a change when it separates from Schwartz media. However, it is still en excellent source of opinion and up to date interviews about current issues. The team clearly works hard to produce this. There is a left lean, which is fine for me.

  • Has lost its way

    I've listened to this podcast daily for over two years. It was fantastic, but has become so left-wing lately that it sounds like Karl Marx is in charge! So much for "independent journalism"

  • Time to shut it down

    It is probably the most sexist show I have ever listened too. If it was males hosts it could have been cancelled years ago. I have listed for several years but it took my son listening in the car to point out to me that they keep denegrating males and whenever any topic is up it is “guys/men” if it was women it would be better … sad I did not notice myself

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

“I would perish”: The human cost of the PM’s NDIS cuts
Q: What does the panel see as the main risk if the reforms proceed without foundational supports existing first?
The panel argues that removing people from the scheme without established alternatives will lead to gaps in care, higher costs in public systems, and a systemic crisis rather than sustainable reform.
“I would perish”: The human cost of the PM’s NDIS cuts
Q: What are your core concerns with the effects of all of this for women, girls, and gender diverse people with disabilities?
She outlines disproportionate impacts on women and gender diverse people, increased reliance on unpaid carers (mostly women), and barriers to accessing supports due to biased assessment tools and restrictive eligibility rules.
“I would perish”: The human cost of the PM’s NDIS cuts
Q: Sophie, after months of argument over these changes to the NDIS, the Senate actually began debating the bill on Monday. Tell me what happened in that debate.
Sophie explains that Greens senators moved motions to reject the bill and call for withdrawal, highlighting crossbench support and the broader concerns about the bill's impact on funding, gendered effects, and the rights of people with disability.
How Nigel Farage ended up facing off with a bin
Q: Tell me about why Farage triggered this by-election and what the donors really mean for his campaign.
The by-election was sparked by Farage's decision prompted by questions over a five-million-pound donation; major parties opted not to contest, turning the race into a test of whether the money and scrutiny will influence voters or simply be dismissed as political theater.
How Trump’s anti-vax agenda is infecting Australia
Q: How do vaccination rates in Australia look currently and what are the main drivers behind any decline?
Julie Leask points to a combination of concerns influenced by access, convenience, and policy incentives that encourage vaccination, while noting areas where trust in health professionals remains crucial.
