  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

“Nerd Reich”: Are big tech billionaires at war with democracy?
Q: How did these ideas move from fringe to a position of real political influence?
The discussion traces the path from obscure blogs to mainstream policy influence, financed think-tanks, and government contracts that integrate tech firms like Palantir into critical public infrastructure and security.
“Nerd Reich”: Are big tech billionaires at war with democracy?
Q: Who are the central figures you highlight as driving this project?
Durán identifies Peter Thiel as a central figure, with a network of like-minded billionaires funding writers, movements, and political campaigns that push a tech-dominant vision of governance.
“Nerd Reich”: Are big tech billionaires at war with democracy?
Q: What convinced you that that idea was actually a coherent political project?
Durán explains that the project is evidenced by long-term funding, strategic appointments, and a concerted effort to align multiple power centers—tech, finance, media—with political goals that aim to influence policy and potentially undermine democratic norms.
Why Jacqui Lambie’s not done fighting veteran health caps
Q: What would that cap mean for veterans like you?
A cap would force difficult trade-offs during rehab, potentially limiting access to essential services like psychology, physio, and exercise physiology when people are most vulnerable and trying to recover.
Why Jacqui Lambie’s not done fighting veteran health caps
Q: Why did you decide to speak?
I spoke to shed light on the inequities in care for women veterans, particularly around our reproductive health, and to push back against a policy that would curtail vital allied health services for those who are most in need.
