Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 277 ratings
  • Not sure if it's my podcast player (Podcast Addict) or the episode itself but at about the 3 minute mark the podcast splits in two and the original stream continues to play and the second stream starts playing almost from the start over the top. I had to stop listening, which is annoying as I was really interested in the content. I hope the editing team can untangle this and repost the episode.

    Tegan has helped bring the ABC to a new low standard. If the national broadcaster imagines they will appeal to a young audience, they’re wrong.
