4.6 out of 5 stars from 65 ratings
  • No analysis

    Simply offering one side the chance to promote their own speaking points isn’t analysis. Really poor.

  • A blatant (poor) copy of ‘The Spear’

    A typical Australian Army copy of something the US has already done. Not honest in its interest (look at the fact that nothing is negative), unlike its US counterpart that is balanced and nuanced. This is propaganda disguised in a Pod Cast for people who cannot think for themselves.

  • Great pro dev tool

    The team at the Cove have done a really good job at getting this up and running. Great episodes that provide another mechanism for Army soldiers and officers to conduct pro dev. It would be great to see them collaborate with our like podcasts to maintain consistent episodes rolling out. Things like war for idiots or the principles of war are collaboration opportunities.
