New Zealanda month ago - Absolute sanity
So many decades of experience, expertise, inside knowledge and outside knowledge calmly dissecting Australian news, every week sanely laying down reams of hypocrisy and interests behind the news. Thank you, you two.

Apple Podcasts5Wayne ChingNew Zealand3 months ago - Hooked!
What an eye opening, independent, honest podcast from two no nonsense hosts about the true state of affairs in our country. They are a real joy to listen to & learn from. They certainly show up how very delinquent other news sources are with their lies & misinformation. Keep up the great work!
