    Please sort the podcast mix out - you have to turn the volume up full to hear it but then the adverts explode at you as they are about ten times louder than the show

  • PLEASE ASK YOU GUESTS TO STOP DRINKING ETC ON YOUR SHOW!!!

    Could you and your guests ( particularly Conroy) do us the courtesy of not swallowing drinks or chewing/swallowing during their segment.

    It’s extremely difficult to ignore and disconcerting.

    Perhaps someone could show them how to wear / setup the microphone.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Bolt Report | 10 August
Q: What is your take on the polling showing One Nation and Labor being neck-and-neck?
The panelists suggest that polls are volatile and that leadership, policy delivery, and messaging will ultimately shape final results, with One Nation's presence complicating traditional two-party dynamics.
The Bolt Report | 4 May
Q: What is the significance of the Royal Commission into anti-Semitism, and how should Australia respond?
The panel treats the commission's testimony as a critical warning sign about rising anti-Semitism, arguing for strong legislative and societal commitment to counter hate and protect communities, with practical policy measures likely to follow.
The Bolt Report | 2 March
Q: General Keane, what do you see as the next goals on the ground after the first day and a half of operations?
Keane outlines ongoing pressure to take down the regime's command and control, degrade its missile and drone capabilities, and continue supporting allied Gulf states, with a focus on preventing Iran from recovering and ensuring the regime cannot reconstitute its nuclear program.
The Bolt Report | 2 March
Q: After less than 48 hours, what has been achieved? Is it more than you expected?
Keane explains that early momentum includes decapitation of leaders, rapid airstrikes, and disruption of Iran's centralized command, while acknowledging that the long-term goal is to prevent a rapid regrouping by the regime and to topple its nuclear ambitions.
The Bolt Report | 23 February
Q: Is it a good idea or is it too cruel to the children?
Michael Damby argues that the threat to Australians outweighs concerns about the children's welfare, given past instances of violence.
