  • Doesn’t follow journalistic standards

    This show does not follow journalistic standards. The producers (and host) are unprofessional in their presenting. Some content contains triggers and they do not give any trigger warnings before airing content. This is very amateurish. Fair warning to anyone listening, this show won’t give any warnings to triggering content.

  • Bring back the individual podcasts

    Need individual podcasts. Otherwise those of us that are time poor are missing out on the stories we want to hear and eventually going to get our news from another source instead.

  • AM, RN Brekky, World Today, PM, Drive et al. Sabra, Linda, Sally, Fran, Bevo, Hamish ... all y'all ABC current affairs crew - thanks for years of transparent, factual, thoughtful reporting. Stand firm, keep a straight face (except for the Nats - can't help but laugh) you do represent the majority despite efforts of the IPA and Scomo's office load of rent seekers. Can't imagine the info landscape without you. Lots of love Matt.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stumbling blocks threaten Gaza deal
Q: Can you take us through where the fractures are starting to appear in this putative peace process?
Eric elaborates on Hamas's difficulties in recovering bodies amidst the ongoing conflict, and the immediate tensions as Israel considers ceasing compliance with the ceasefire.
Middle East peace process continues
Q: Matthew Doran, Donald Trump has described the events of the last few days as a new dawn for the Middle East. As Israelis and Palestinians greet a new day over there, is the euphoria shifting to make way for maybe a clear review of what lies ahead for the region?
Doran highlights a sense of joy in Israel with the absence of hostages, but underlines ongoing uncertainties regarding the fate of the deceased hostages and the devastation in Gaza, suggesting a more realistic perspective on future developments.
Trump aiming for Russia-Ukraine deal
Q: Is it fair to say Vladimir Putin only comes to the table when he has a specific goal in mind?
Yes, Putin often engages in negotiations to ensure Russia's strategic position remains strong rather than genuinely pursuing peace.
Trump aiming for Russia-Ukraine deal
Q: What do you think are the chances that Donald Trump can pull off something similar in the long-running war between Russia and Ukraine?
Very, very low. The reality is that nothing has fundamentally changed in the Russia-Ukraine war, and Trump's meeting with Putin will not address the key problems.
Israeli cabinet approves Gaza peace plan
Q: Jared Monshine, how do you think Donald Trump has adapted his famously brash deal-making style to get Israel and Hamas to agree to a deal?
He points to the presence of Jared Kushner and the unique position of the Trump administration to exert pressure on the parties involved, leveraging a pragmatic approach rather than conventional diplomacy.
