Always great to listen in on the thoughts & feels of the national centrist dad’s conversation. That said, Pat Leahy’s seeming inability to use a mic is as, if not more, frustrating than the unimaginative, conservative positions to be (un)heard on the podcast.
Great interview with Oliver Sears. Informative. Good to get an insight to him to understand his columns better.
I love this show. The relaxed nature of it makes it easy to listen to, yet all the important topics are covered. It hits the right note for me
Very interesting and informative, presented in a pleasant style, with good humour, and good sense.
Occasionally has good episodes when guests like Fintan O Toole, Aidan Regan or Una Mullaly , keep the hosts on track. Doesn’t delve into how these issues affect people’s lives. Mainly polls and who is winning one nil up 2-1 down type analysis.
They seem more interested in politics that is entertains for them instead of explaining the nuances of how it affects peoples lives
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.
