  • What a terrific podcast!

    How good is David Marr? No topic is off limits, he’s afraid of nothing or no-one. Forthright, very knowledgeable & independent with interesting subjects every night. He tells things as they really are which makes a refreshing change from the media. ABC did well with their choice

  • Barry Jones is numinous

    How good is the 2026 Barry Jones episode?! The brilliance that pours out of the man continues into the 9th decade! Makes me wistful for visionary politicos in an era of shallow sloganeers that infests Australian politics presently. Thank you, this is an episode to cherish.

  • Condescending 78-year-old interviewer

    David Marr’s interview with Chris Hedges on 21 October is a worthwhile listen. It can’t be unheard.

    If you like what Marr is doing in the interview, then keep on listening to this podcast.

    On the other hand, if you occasionally listen to Marr and find his interview approach somewhat exasperating, then his interview with Hedges is definitely worth the listen. It is so excruciatingly bad.

    Listening to the interview has been very validating. It’s unfortunate Marr has dropped to such lows.
