  • Non-woke authoritarian lefties

    This once-innovative Aussie podcast has lost its mojo. Trevor has run out of ideas and is down to regurgitating Guardian talking points and whatever he reads on the John Menadue blog (plus the occasional limp challenge to woke ideology). The co-host / “tech guy” mostly offers dull sycophancy. If only they had the chemistry of the early days or were as important, informed and intelligent as they seem to think. This one is beyond repair, I’m afraid. Time to retire it: it’s only of interest to the ... more

    By far the biggest challenge has been the ongoing whispering of one of the regulars that requires a constant adjustment of the volume. I now generally ignore most of wh... more

    I have been listening to this podcast for over a year and really enjoy hearing all the different views from each person.

    Feel more ppl from the US need to hear this one and that the US has not been the night in shining armor to save the world from injustice when the factual record proves the actual opposite!

    I thank you for saying maybe Australia should no longer send their young men and women into “conflicts” the US has and continues to instigate through sanctions, actual assassi... more
