  • Great guests, rubbish host.

    Such potential here. Interesting topics from fascinating guests, yet Fullilove’s obsession with reminding us he is a creature of the Canberra bubble with his relentless Trump bashing is so dull and pathetic.

    He takes every opportunity to steer the conversation towards Trump and then serves up a dose of elitist, beltway garbage.

    With a better host this would be a 5 star review.

  • Australian Focused Foreign Policy

    Great, informative, up to date podcast with a focus on the Asia Pacific from the people at the Australian think tank. Audio quality could be better at times but seriously, harden up you whinges, you can’t get closer to the real action with the boffins than this.
