Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 35 ratings
  • Informative

    Positives - very up to date and well structured into Land, Air and Maritime domains. Really good breadth of topics.

    Negatives - too few Industry or Military guest speakers and some of the Journalists have better voices for Podcasts than others.

  • Excellent defence review

    This is not for the ‘casual ‘ listener it’s full of jargon and acronyms, so if you struggle to understand this isn’t for you

    But if you’re a part of the family and understand you’ll get a lot out of this podcast

    Excellent contributions and the interviewers get to the nub of the article

    Well done
