Sean sounded like he was in a tunnel while others had microphone . Very disappointing
Sound quality of the interviewee poor 3/2/26
PLEASE can everyone stop talking over each other - it is near impossible at times to hear individual comments!
The topics and guests are generally great but I must say I prefer the commentary of Mark, the seasoned journalist and wordsmith. Maria needs to speak as to a public audience rather than a staffroom discussion of a political science faculty. And please stop injecting “sort of” or “kind of” into every phrase. It gets really annoying.
The episode regarding the Liberal Party Crisis on Jan 29 2026 was outstanding. The analysis shared by the hosts and the retired Liberal MP from NSW went way beyond the personality-obsessed race calls of most established media outlets.
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.
