  • One of my favourites

    This was my favourite Saturday listen for a long time- I’m sad only to see it updated only twice a month now. I enjoyed immensely the long form interviews where you got to listen to (mostly) intelligent conversations with particular politicians (whether I like/agree with them or not) and policy experts. I don’t care who hosts, or if you rotate it around between the politics team…but please bring it back more frequently!

  • Very useful podcast

    To stay in the loop about Australian politics. Some episodes are a tad bland but generally contemporary topics are reflected well and discussed quantitatively, different points of view compared. Bravo, more of this please.

  • Vanilla performance

    Tedious interview with Andrew Giles leaves no doubt why labor votes are leaving in droves. Sick of the overly curated talking points.
