  • Good easy listening stuff

    Some good episodes from the guys who have an easy manner with people drawing them into conversation. Most favourite so far has to be the Simon Barnet episode. Least favourite is the Les Mills episode. His evaluation of Jacinda is so far off it’s laughable. Good show. Worth a listen.

  • Sponsorship Sell-Out

    A real shame to hear ads supporting gambling in Aotearoa. Cashing in on, and promoting, such a harm causing thing.

  • This one hit different

    I’m just wanting to let you know how much your podcast with Simon Barnett resonated with me. My daughter Megan died following a 15 month battle with a GBM brain tumour. Like Simon says it’s not something we’re ever going to get over, rather I like to explain it as the grief is something that you learn to walk beside rather than behind, if that makes sense. Waking up every day to a world without someone you love in it is unexplainably painful. Her life had only just started, she was 28.
