- Sam Mostyn is a bore
Another interview with the earnest and dull Sam Mostyn. I am weary of her ‘kindness’ language. She talks of ‘robust debate’ but has no idea what that might mean.

Australia3 months ago - Good could be great
Always good well produced, substantial content but suffers from low energy vibe, makes it hard to stand out in a crowded market of political podcasts. Listener needs to build a bond with presenters which i find hard in this case
Apple Podcasts3Matt A KnoppAustralia6 months ago - Great Premier Discussion
Tom’s discussion with Anna was moving. I remember Anna facing the media with ~7 Labour MLAs left. Great dedication to Qld, and she worked tirelessly to then go on and become our premier. Thank you.
Apple Podcasts5Sleep depravedAustralia6 months ago - Clare O’Neill and the housing crisis
Clare O’Neill is a superb politician, she knows her stuff whatever portfolio she is given. The interviewer was good on housing questions, but when he asked about climate change action he failed to follow up with why the govt is continuing to approve fossil fuel expansions and neglect the environment. Clare is so good she probably would have a given plausible sounding answer, but the govt is failing badly climate mitigation.
Apple Podcasts5NannalitAustraliaa year ago - Is the Guardian hate media?!
Interview with Liberal Julian Leesa was pathetic. No probing questions or challenges to his assertions. This was like a Liberal party PR puff piece. I expect more critical questioning from the Guardian
