I loved listening to your conversation with Antony Lowenstein, although I wished Jan cpuld be more fearless and less cautious in her approach to reporting. Like Antony.
Apple Podcasts4Dr KimberleyAustraliaa month ago - Intelligent critical thinkers
Two highly intelligent women delivering the critical thinking, truth and balance that the media and current political climate is profoundly lacking to anyone with any sentiment of journalistic or moral integrity.
Those offended by this podcast needs to re-evaluate their own biases, and I would consider them to be deeply problematic.
Thank you for your voices, and thank you for pushing back for those smart enough to see the truth.
Apple Podcasts5Jourfix01Australiaa month ago - Thank God We Have You Two
I don't know how you find the capacity and the energy to keep showing up and being compassionate and decent but also clear eyed and brave. Your episode on the Bondi attacks was empathetic and well thought out but also asked the questions that need to be asked. You most be so exhausted but you keep bringing depth, critical analysis and nuance when the bulk of your peers just regurgitate John Howard's lines.
Apple Podcasts5EarlView 2161Australiaa month ago - Divisive podcast
I have listened to almost every episode of this podcast and find it to be divisive and not helpful in the current political climate. You offer no solutions and platform equally divisive guests. Your sympathy and concern for what has happened in Bondi is annoying and disingenuous and fools no one apart from your seemingly rabid fan base. Please stop and take stock before we have another Bondi.
