  • 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.

  • I am glad David is back in 2025

    David Marr is the best interviewer on radio. He is always well researched, has insightful questions and I love that he “doesn’t have an opinion” on any of the topics. Not to mention his West Pymble accent! What is not to like?
