  • Time to unfollow

    Have always loved listening to LOB each week. There have been a couple of guests where their politics has made me switch off, but your interview with Seb Costello has been made unfollow for good. Enjoyed it up until the pro-Christian, pro-One Nation, anti-migration chat started. Good journalists present a balanced view. I’m done.
