  • What happened to Marr?

    The Chris Hedges interview was shameful. Really sad to see Marr descend into such a yuk person. He’s 80 years old - hopefully LNL will be better when he’s gone

  • You’ve lost me after the Chris Hedges

    I hope that David Marr takes some time to reflect on what his agenda was for this interview. I might re-subscribe once he figures that out. Absolutely outrageous behaviour. How disappointing as I was a big fan

  • Thank You Aunty

    David Marr has injected new life into LNL since stepping into the big shoes of Phillip Adams. He is intelligent, insightful, and has a uniquely dry humour. I also love the broad range of topics in this show. David always remains interested in his guests and is so well researched. Long may you run.
