- Refreshing partisan takes
Great show, my only real complain echoes what some others have said about the hosts speaking over the top of the guests. That just makes for a difficult listening experience at times.

Australia3 months ago - Great content but…
Love the content but I wish Nick would let Kos and the other guests finish their sentence/thoughts.
Apple Podcasts3JaydenSAnthonyAustralia4 months ago - Interesting, but…
It would be great if it weren’t such a blokefest, and if Nick could shut up a bit. Maybe the two points are the same thing…
Apple Podcasts2Flossy MAustralia4 months ago - Nick talks about himself too much
It’s excruciating that Nick thinks we want to hear about him, instead of his guests. He needs to learn good conversation skills & stop inserting himself in with his own (not interesting) life, analysis & experience
Apple Podcasts1Pete_woofaAustralia5 months ago - Nick’s a punish
Love the idea of this podcast. But the host is a narcissistic banker. It’s makes the podcaster Un-listenable. He talks over his erudite guests. Thinks he’s the smartest bloke in Australia. But really he’s just boorish dullard.
