Reviews

4.1 out of 5 stars from 360 ratings
  • Worst audio producer ever

    Impressively bad audio production, just here for Phil’s show, temporarily, thankfully. Compression not used right or at all. Lows are un-hearable, the highs blow your ears off. Constantly fluctuating audio in general, and the de-Esser not used at all. The sam Purcell segment was so hissy on the s and the t’s. It’s a bold business move to let this chucklehead continue producing. Seen better tafe students do basic audio.

  • Boring drive show

    It would be nice if the drive segment would concentrate on car reviews & the latest releases other than almost an entire show taken up with trivial pothole and road issues. I wasted an hour of my life last night listening to dribble.

FULL SHOW | Nights with Trent Nikolic - 2 October 2026
Q: Where are interest rates and inflation at the moment, and how would you wrap up the situation?
Scott Phillips says inflation reflects both global pressures and domestic excess demand. He argues that government deficits are stimulating demand when the Reserve Bank is trying to reduce it, and that tighter budgets could help.
Cruising & Travel with Richard Davey – 1 October 2026
Q: Are you, broadly, are you looking at the cruise that you want to go on first, or the accommodation where you might want to stay, or a combination of both? Is there any advice that's better than the other?
Davey advises choosing the cruise first because ships are scarcer than flights and hotels, then arranging the other parts of the trip.
Camping & Off-Roading with The Duck - 1 October 2026
Q: For anyone listening who's interested, it's no more complex to get your vehicle with a caravan on the Spirit than just ticking that you're towing a van on when you make the booking, is it?
The Duck says travellers need to provide vehicle measurements and book their crossing. He recommends planning carefully and booking the return trip as well.
