  • MOSTLY INFORMATIVE

    Chris is an informative presenter, most of the time, with the only exception that he is a climate change denier. You can’t be a climate change denier, and claim at the same time to be informative. Do your homework Chris, and only then will you become one of the top radio presenters in Sydney. ✅✅✅

  • Most biased podcast I've ever listened to.

    Right wing rubbish. Don't listen to this podcast unless you like hearing fascists talk to other fascists. Ramblings of a completely biased neo-conservative old man

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Leisa Caldwell, long-time advocate for the brumbies of Kosciuszko National Park
Q: What are the main alternatives to aerial culling that you think should be considered?
Mustering and relocating horses, rather than shooting from helicopters, can be used to protect important areas; it has been done in the past with volunteers, and it could be trialed as a humane option.
Leisa Caldwell, long-time advocate for the brumbies of Kosciuszko National Park
Q: How are you feeling about the situation right now?
I'm devastated and frustrated because there's a lack of response from authorities despite shared concerns from eminent scientists and advisory committees, and people like me are fighting to keep the heritage alive.
Weekends with Luke Grant - Saturday 6th of June
Q: What is the core issue in the NSW stamp duty debate?
