Reviews

3.9 out of 5 stars from 420 ratings
  • Varied quality

    This has devolved into Brent Read talking very assertively, but not being able to explain himself, then repeating the point.

    Sadly there seems to be a time when all journalists realise being bombastic and controversial gets more attention than being thoughtful.

    Caryannis is still thoughtful, considered, and can explain any strong opinions he has. But for how long? It’s consumed so many before him.

  • Brent Read Is A Muppet

    How does this oxygen thief get any airtime? Seriously this bloke needs to give up. His opinions aren’t his own. He just wants to be different for the sake of it no matter how much of a gimp he makes of himself.
