  • 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.
