- Giving Up
I keep listening to each podcast hoping against hope that Karvelas finally has something good to say about the labor party and or their policies.

It could’ve been a great podcast & fortunately I have othe... more

Slow hand clap Speersy’. Letting the Israeli propagandist justify killing civilians barely challenged by fawning sycophantic journalist David Speers . Bravo.
