    I have been listening to this podcast for years, but it feels like SBS are using their second and third rate journalists for this now. Some can barely read a transcript, some have interviewing skills of a primary school student.

    It’s no longer enjoyable. Just frustrating

    Same liberal controlled media as America. Was looking for less drama and reporting on crap, not here. Don’t waist your time.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

US midterms: Trump’s Republican party gets a drubbing
Q: Do these midterms, do you think, mark the end of Trump's control over the party or has his control been reduced in any way because of this result?
Kim Hoggard says Trump's influence has weakened and some Republicans are distancing themselves, while the MAGA base remains. Bruce Wolpe adds that the defeat will create tension within the party over whether Republicans should continue aligning with Trump.
US midterms: Trump’s Republican party gets a drubbing
Q: Donald Trump, is he a lame duck president? How is he going to handle the next two years that he's still got in office?
Kim Hoggard says a president whose party has lost both houses of Congress is generally considered a lame duck, but Trump's response is unpredictable and may depend on how strongly he feels challenged by investigations and oversight.
Why is Australia's social cohesion under pressure?
Q: So how do we create more social cohesion in Australia?
O'Donnell says cohesion is not primarily about cultural or ideological similarity. People value well-being, safety, belonging and respect for one another despite differences.
David Jones in administration: What happens next?
Q: How much of the rise in the ASX has to do with the US midterm elections, and why?
Heath Moss attributes almost all of the rise to US market movements after the election, saying the result brought certainty and reduced volatility. He also links falling oil prices to anticipated limits on US policy and negotiations with Iran.
David Jones in administration: What happens next?
Q: How did David Jones get into this financial position?
Gary Mortimer says decades of structural change, long-term physical leases, online shopping, specialist retailers and fast fashion left the department store unable to adapt quickly enough.
