- Superb, insightful analysis
Love the Politics Now daily up to the minute analysis of current political events. PK is a wonderful daily host, so enthusiastic and nerdy about Australian politics. Fran & PK are superb hosts of The Party Room. And I love hearing the depth of political analysis from ABC journalists such as Jacob Greber, Raf Epstein and David Speers. Can’t have too much political analysis —this is a must listen podcast!

Australia20 days ago - Best politics podcast available
I love the daily hit of politics. More so, I love the way that PK, Fran and all the guests make a point of presenting both sides regardless of their personal opinions. That is done so much so that I noticed that all the reviews that aren’t glowing are from people from either side of politics who think they favour the alternate side and yet there are such reviews from both sides. Well done on making this truly balanced!
Apple Podcasts5ErnestMasseyAustralia20 days ago - Love this show!
PK and Fran are definitely two of the best
Apple Podcasts5dani.lescanoAustralia21 days ago - Too much PK
Long term listener from the early Party Room days. Still a fan of Fran, but can’t deal with the daily Politics Now deluge. It’s not that PK is on every day (although she is) it’s the constant self references, the talking about herself, her life, her opinions, her altruistic obsession of politics, the editorialising instead of reporting, the talking over guests with her own opinions. Just too much. Finding other podcasts now.
If I could get just The Party Room as a podcast, I would probably stil... more
Apple Podcasts1Tig42Australia24 days ago - Melbourne-centric
‘PK’ and her mates (usually from Melbourne) prattle on excitedly, mostly about trivia. If it hasn’t happened in Canberra or Melbourne, you won’t hear about it on this podcast. Avoid.
