PK is exasperating. It’s ’me, me, me’ constantly. And talking over the top of guests — who, most of the time, have more valuable insights than her. Take it down a notch.

Love the podcast but PK, can you please stop asking, ‘Am I right?’ It sounds like you are desperate for approval. If your other hosts or guests agree, I’m sure they will tell you

Karvelas is unbearable. So far up herself. Always this dramatic voices and pho drama. Awful. .
Apple Podcasts1Nardi NumbatAustraliaa month ago - Love the show…
… but please can we not talk about this melons issue anymore, it’s beneath you and your listeners, more importantly it’s deeply uninteresting and irrelevant - you don’t think it tells us who the PM is, if you did that’s what’s you’d be talking about and you’re not. So much critical stuff going on here and in the wider world, please don’t shine your bright light on nonsense.
Apple Podcasts5archer dependantAustralia2 months ago - Time to focus
This has always been a good pod but the failure of the team to talk about the governments plans to destroy the NDIS is a testament to how narrow and focussed only on the political got ya moments this podcast has become.
