  • Jesus Christ: movie star

    This episode is so ridiculous it actually made me laugh. How is this “the front” of what’s on the news?

    I’m here to balance out my political news coverage, so I expect a little bit of right wing craziness sometimes, but this isn’t even news, it’s just an ad trying to make Christianity seem hip and cool???

    “So… was Jesus actually a feminist?” 😳

    Actually the most surreal podcast episode I’ve ever listened to. How much did they bribe you to produce this episode?

    Please stick to actual news g... more

  • Complete rubbish

    This podcast does not talk about what’s “on the front”. The subject of each of their podcasts is often not news at all, but normally whatever their wokey issue of the day is.

  • A mouth piece for a foreign lobby?

    The interview with the Australian Editor James Madden highlights just how rightwing the Australian Newspaper is and more worrying, whether it is just a mouth piece for lobby groups like “Lawyers for Israel”. Rather than criticise Antoinette Lattouf and labelling her, and others with a moral compass like her, as “virtue signalling”, he as a fellow journalist should be commending her bravery for standing up and uncovering this foreign power’s attack on Australia’s democratic and media integrity.

  • Irrelevance overload

    This podcast only became known to me due to ‘The Teachers Pet.’ Hedley Thomas and Matthew Condon are the only two worth listening to, the rest of the content is predictably irrelevant
