You’d never know from listening to that podcast about why Australia is better that a lot of the wealth, both common and private, came from a mass expropriation of land, water and other resources from the original owners.
A serious, sober and thoughtful conversation - interspersed by jarring jingly “showbiz” music. Surreal!
British magazine. Good. But they interviewed an author and neither interviewer had read his entire vote. I do, and strongly recommend you also, reserve 5 stars for truly outstanding podcasts so those ratings are more meaningful and the best podcasts stand out. This is good but not great.
Dear Prospect, please stop Ms Collins from getting near a microphone. Her recent squeaky ramblings of her OCD were the last straw. Spoiler: we’re not interested in her neuroses or self obsession - and the timbre of that voice [insert scream emoji here]. She needs to grow up, hone a public speaking voice and stop doing such an incredible disservice to Gen Z, by reinforcing perceptions of that generation’s immaturity and fragility.
But today’s episode - on the speculation around a certain Ms T Swift as the author of a new thriller - with the squeaky, breathless Swiftie-swooning by the sub-editor - was, frankly, rather ridiculous and inane.
