  • Lost it's way

    It might be unfair, but I was expecting a much more progressive show from Ciara and that hasn't happened, for whatever reasons. It's just not for me.

  • So So

    Ciara is often wonderful in highlighting certain issues, particularly around health related issues and housing. But the recent slide to the economic right and punch down rhetoric is not great. I don't think that's representative of Ciara's beliefs, more Newstalks editorial leanings.
