- Please stop with the bullies!!!
not my fave podcast platforming multiple known bullies on their show. Victoria Devine was the final straw. You need to get someone to background check your guests.

Australia2 months ago - Too woke and one-sided
Tried but just can’t listen to content creators who are so biased and rage baiting about anyone who holds views different to them. The twisting & exaggerations of what someone has said to suit your narrative is boring, self-serving and unprofessional.
Apple Podcasts1TruthberriesAustralia2 months ago - Disappointed
I am a long time listener of this podcast. However, after seeing that Victoria Divine would be featured in this episode, I’m disappointed and sad. This is no longer the sort of podcast that I thought it was. I do not agree with giving this woman a platform and I know that I am not alone. Please do better.
Apple Podcasts1Disappointed_2926@Australia2 months ago - Big Small Talk: Big love
One of my fav weekly listens. H & S are brilliant and so considered. They are playing a pivotal role in Aus media right now. No one underestimate them. It’s fun and hits all the right notes where it counts. Share it with your friends and family. X
