“That was fascinating interview with Zali. We are getting so little airtime given to the independents. It’s great to hear her describe her pragmatic approach. And I agree so much that our politics have been diminished by the “career” politicians with no lived experience to bring to the job.
And...”Read full review »

“I know this is Mark Kenny’s prodigal podcast child, but seriously Mark. STOP interrupting your wonderful erudite guests so you can deliver a prolonged verbose treatise on how smart and well read you are. Seriously , just give the guests a bit more free reign. Yeah nah. You’re right mate. But...”Read full review »

“Episodes largely consist of a round table of ‘credentialed’ people agreeing with each other on how they have the same ideas. Lacks depth and intellectual honesty about covering any other sides than what the hosts and guests think is ‘right’ regardless of realities.
Give it a crack but be ready...”Read full review »

“A regular listen for me - current political topics and interesting guests. I’d love Mark to step back a bit and give Maria a bit more air-time so that we’re hearing the view of a younger, female academic, not just the view of a long-time political journo. Oops, I said it out loud, Mark…”

“I listen to most of the episodes of Democracy Sausage and find them to be interesting, informative and enjoyable on the whole. The latest episode with Kate Chaney as the guest was no exception. Kate is my representative and I’m a big fan so it was a lovely surprise to hear her on the show. Great...”Read full review »

“Fascinating discussion with Dr Andrew Leigh MP on factions in the Labor Party and how they work, and those, like himself, not in a faction.
‘Show in tell’ wow.
He is a standout speaker, clear, precise and so knowledgeable. Always directly answers the questions.
Just brilliant. More please.”

“Was looking forward to hear George Brandis, as he was one of the more intellectual and thoughtful members of the recent LNP govt imo.
However, he came over as bombastic. No room for other’s input while he’s holding forth. From his thoughts on the Ashes stumping, to the campaign for The Voice,...”Read full review »

“Answer: Mark Kenny and his academic co-host Maria.
This podcast is one step up from an LNP & Labor Facebook meme.
The guests are sometimes good, but the simplistic journalist eco-chamber analysis is really, really bad.
Lacking in accurate, political historic analysis instead preferring to...”Read full review »

“Not only like several times in a sentence, but also boringly beginning each sentence with the word ‘so’. So means as a consequence, yet it and the like word too are now empty signifiers.”

“Generally it’s lightweight drivel, basically the mewlings of Canberra bubble heads, but all too often it also gives credence and voice to right nasties, Sophia Gaslit most recently.
Feeble usually but occasionally vicious.”

“As In everything Stan Grant covers the same opinions and themes are prominent. The same negative, descriptive language on these themes is used . He has some good ideas to be offered but they are overwhelmed by his negative, unrealistic presentation of them .”
