- WONDERFUL
I’ve been a fan of Ryan’s dry, snappy and well thought out broadcasts for the past few years. When Kate Hawksby left I couldn’t imagine who could possibly follow, but by god Ryan’s done it!
He presents the facts, asks the questions we all want answered and is relentless in his approach. Couldn’t imagine a better result.
Early Edition is saved!

Apple Podcasts2Rosey9697New Zealand5 years ago - Leaning
This station certainly leans to the ‘right’ in this weird woke world. But that’s obvious and god knows we need something to balance out the bias in the other direction.

Nothing more than a biased and bigoted right wing mouthpiece for the National party.
