This used to be one of my favourites, where I'd come to hear a genuine debate of ideas. Now I'm deleting it. It used to be fun hearing Bomber go over the top and provoke the right and now he just gets on people who agree with him and so the whole shtick is just irritating at best. It's like the carnival ride Gravitron where left wing politicians get in a circle and spin around vomiting and have it all fly back in their face. Either that or a circle and a biscuit...

What happened to Damien? He was the only one that made Martin’s crazed left wing rants remotely tolerable. This show used to do a good job of allowing a range of views to be expressed. It seems it’s now a TPM production. Such a shame.

I knew it would be worse when Damien left but I didn’t know it would be this bad. Such a shame a good podcast was ruined.

Bomber! Sort the audio bro!!! Invest in some compression to bring the quiet talkers more in level with the shouty people. Unless you’re listening in a quiet room, its hard to hear what everyone is saying.
Apart from that, Bomber is doing great work and it’s a great listen.
