I just finished listening to Bob Katter.
Last week I listened to him on Karl Stefanovic’s pod cast, as it was a shorter interview and I had less time.
I’m a Karl fan, but Mark’s chat, which was maybe half hour longer, was so much more informative. Bob seemed very comfortable to sit and chat and I found him really interesting and enjoyed listening to his stories.
I listen to almost all of straight talk, sometimes not if too many boxers and ufc, and this was really good to listen to.
Recently added this podcast to my rotation and really loving it. Listened to the Bob Katter and ex CIA episodes today and found them fascinating. I’d love to see Mark Bouris run for PM
Your last pod with John was brilliant. Asked all the questions I was thinking. Insightful to get a different opinion.
Excellent interview.
Listened to Anthony Mundine interview today..
And what a listen..really enjoyed it.and was a great interview..
Job well done fellas..
Met Anthony a couple of times and he is a real humble dude..
