  • Dangerous misinformation

    This podcast is riddled with misinformation, biased, harmful, at times dangerous rhetoric that feels like something that should be coming out of the worst end of American politics. I feel embarrassed that this is coming out of Australia.

  • Great podcast from Ben @ 2GB

    I enjoy listening to Ben’s daily podcast at my leisure throughout the afternoon.

    I find his segments very interesting with a good cross section of people contributing to it. Great people infractions, issues we want to hear about in detail and holds people to account when it’s required.

    Keep up the fantastic work Ben.

  • 2GB hits the spot

    I’m from WA and listen to Ben and his team on the 2GBApp daily. Great variety of stories both nationally and internationally. I especially enjoy the connection with listeners. A mix of serious, amusing and relevant topics. The other 2GB “soldiers” that follow on, Mark Levy, Michael McLaren, Clinton Maynard are also brilliant.
