Very informative political podcast. I really enjoy the episodes when Mark interviews the invited guest on his own. I very much appreciate Mark’s engaging and in-depth interview style and think this produces quality information for listeners.
Mark is excellent. Hilarious jab at Richard Marles’ pronunciation of The word ‘nuclear’!!!
One of of Australia’s ( Oz’s) best quality journalists, Mark Kenny, hosts this podcast with ANU Political Scientist Marija Taflaga co- host. Quality guests, the show is respected by other quality Oz political journalists. Ditto. It goes past the political punch / counter punch commentary that most mainstream journalists safely notate.
Educational, intelligent - highly recommended.
This is Mark Kenny’s vanity product. He has great guests but doesn’t let them get a word in. Punishing babble from Mark in most recent episode.
Sounds like a recorded background audience noise, is anyone there paying attention or are they all having a rowdy beer at the bar & ignoring the political nerds on stage?? 🤷🏼♀️
