  • Wonderful and so necessary

    Timely podcast in these unsettling times. Loss of local journalism is a fatal blow to democracy. Thank you. PS Daily Mail is not a Murdoch rag - owned by a British peer (Viscount Rothermere) - equally dreadful rag though.

  • Important + accessible

    A great format for a Churchill Fellowship report, on one of the most critical issues facing Australia and the globe. An accessible listen, on a big topic, but with some clear actions for all
