  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Anna Henderson's Canberra: what the SA election result means for the nation
Q: Anna, welcome.
A warm acknowledgment from the host opening the segment, leading into a broader discussion of SA politics and national implications.
Mapping the wilderness
Q: Are there examples of wilderness restoration after infrastructure is built?
Restoration to a truly wilderness state is very rare once infrastructure is introduced; you can recover some natural semblance, but the original isolated functioning is almost never fully regained.
Mapping the wilderness
Q: What does wilderness mean in an Australian context given Indigenous histories?
Wilderness is contested; while the traditional view is largely untouched landscapes, Indigenous stewardship and long histories of land management complicate that definition, shifting focus toward areas with minimal modern industrial activity.
Mapping the wilderness
Q: James, how is the map going to be used?
The map will be publicly available to support planning and assessments, helping identify areas to protect under targets like 30 by 30 and guiding decisions on where to prevent development and extraction.
The dark side of floristry
Q: What are the main steps florists and consumers can take to improve sustainability?
Florists should be transparent about origin and seasonality, promote local and seasonal varieties, and minimize reliance on imports; consumers should understand seasonal availability and support flower options that reduce emissions and environmental impact.
