Australia2 months ago - What’s really going on
I’ve just listened to the episode on the AUKUS review.
While it was absolutely cringe to hear that successive governments from all colours thought it was a sound plan, I very much appreciate the Crikeys work to uncover this corruption and inform us.
Apple Podcasts5ZonBergAustralia2 months ago - Always engaging. Always relevant.

Trail blazing blog, podcast and emails that gives us alternative and thorough analysis to the major media (mostly their ex-employers).
Ironic that journalists ’let go’ or who jumped are now setting the standard for traditional media companies to aspire to.
Apple Podcasts5HovelitesAustralia8 months ago - Quality podcast
Succinct and intelligent questioning. Plenty of uninterrupted time for guests to respond. Great work.
