Hi Darren, thank you for the podcast. I only found out about Allan, his book ‘fear of abandonment…’ and your podcast after his death. As an extension of your commitment to his legacy, have you considered creating an audio recording of his book?

Great to hear you back Darren. This podcast is a valuable contribution to essential commentary and analysis that is all too scarce in the Australian media landscape. All the best. Bill H

I’ve really missed this podcast, so thank you for being courageous and resuming Of course AG is irreplaceable, but it’s wonderful to hear your important, clever, sensible, and objective analysts.

This work profoundly influenced me. It connected me with new ideas about what I could professionally do as an Australian and prompted me to change careers. The work for us continues. Vale Allan.

Alan Gyngall was a genuine voice of reason in a world of noise. His insights and knowledge were second to none. He will be dearly missed.

He will be sorely missed and is such a very sad loss for our country.

Allan sadly passed this morning. He was absolutely incredible. He was smart, wise, sensible, mature and very very brilliant. He was a amazing father, husband, brother and Grandfather. I very very very very very very very much adored him. He was a superhero in every area of his life. Condolences...Read full review »

Reminds us why universities matter. To inform and lead public debate.

Is it realistic expectation for America and England to come to our rescue if we are attacked. Will AUKUS hold or will Australia become the battlefield for another proxy war like Ukraine?

Thanks Darren and Allan for an excellent podcast! Love listening to the episodes as they come out and you never fail to provide engaging and thoughtful opinions on world events. Here’s to 100 more episodes!

Allan and Darren Thank you for a fantastic episode on the situation in Ukraine. I found it to be a masterclass on all the elements of IR theory you mentioned and on the potential implications for Australia. Great analysis.

I listen to every episode; it’s essential listening for anyone interested in Australian international affairs. Darren is energetic and creative, and I love his references to, and application of, economic and international relations theories. Allan on the other hand is predictably pro-Labour,...Read full review »

Love the show. Darren - please let Allan get a word (or more words) in!

Nothing interesting here. They just describe what is happening without any real insight and take interesting issues and somehow make them boring.
Sam Bunt via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/28/21
I started out thinking they were providing information for me. After listening time and time again all they do is frame what is happening in as many colourful toffy ways as they can and everything they say can only ever be undisputed. They describe liberal left world regimes as cleaning up the...Read full review »

Darren Lim and Alan Gyngel are brilliantly filling a gaping hole in our understanding of Australian foreign policy and diplomacy. I appreciate the gift of their expertise and questioning minds. I’d like these podcasts to be more regular than they are. And would suggest to Darren that he learn how...Read full review »

I thoroughly enjoy this podcast. Rather than rely on my review, I commend to you the episodes with Duncan Lewis as a starting point.

Riveting podcast on all things foreign policy and news and thoughts. Addictive.
up62steps via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/21/20
This is an excellent and informative podcast. Interesting topics and guests and one of the few podcasts that ask well thought through questions. Definitely a must for people interesting in International Relations and/or Australian foreign policy.

I only discovered this gem recently, and what a fantastic interview with Frances Adamson. Really looking forward to hearing more.
milliememo via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/01/20
It feels often the discussion is a bit panned, planned, and punctuated by written paragraphs. Would love a little more spontaneity! But understand that for foreign affairs academics, this might be hard!
Jrtmorrison_aus via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/08/20
Thank you so much for your thoughtful discussions. I have learned and continue to learn so much. My only criticism is with regard to conversations on China. I may be wrong but it seems to me that you both tiptoe around issues related to China and don’t speak your minds.

Brilliant insight and analysis. Non-biased, knowledgeable presenters with a knack of getting to the heart of an issue. Valuable resource for those interested in Australian foreign policy and related matters.

with a dilemma that changes hourly this is way too slow. I need info that is fresh. The latest here is days old????

These guys are the SMEs of their subject, it’s great to have their perspectives without any political spin applied. Wish it was more frequent though.

The same views you will hear on corporate or state media with the same inaccuracies/untruths but none the less still interesting.
Eveyoz via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/16/19
I listen from the United States to better understand the view from Canberra. I agree with a prior reviewer who says that Darren has a voice for podcasting.
omarsbashir via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/19/19
I'm not from Australia but I found this podcast very interesting. It gives you more perspective in what's going on in the Pacific region and how world events affect countries in that area. Also I think Darren has a great podcast voice. Very worth a listen!Read full review »

Really enjoyed listening to this pod - great to hear Australian voices talking about Australian policy and interaction with the world
Huntermmm via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/18/18
Provides a unique perspective on Australian foreign policy that I don’t often see covered in mainstream outlets. Good to get the twin practitioner and academic viewpoints.
E_Spry via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/06/18
Depth-full analysis by two experts. Allan and Darren make great guides through complex issues. Wish there were more frequent episodes.
Briffa_* via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/04/18
Recent events of interest to a broad spectrum of Australians are weaved with structural components of international affairs. A sophisticated, informative and relevant podcast.
