  • Don’t waste your time A rage-baiting dumbo. Good topics - then low quality and uniformed commentary

    This host has no backbone. He either doesn’t know facts or is biased or doesn’t care if people come on his program and just promulgates falsehoods. How do some people keep their jobs?!

  • Thank you

    Every morning I tune in while running and at the gym.

    You keep me entertained although my friends get sick of me saying “Did you hear”

    Because of something I had heard from your show.

    Longer national days please with Dale. He’s self deprecating and very funny.

  • Filthy Phil delivers the Fire

    Mad, bad, Luke Bona, got me onto Filthy Phil. Really good show/content. I love the Wake up Australia clips when I can’t listen to the full shows. Cool how he goes to the different news rooms and tells us what on the papers etc.
