Occasionally decent, held back by preachy-ness and heavy bias

“While entertaining, engaging, and often covering interesting and relevant subjects, I am unable to to take hack seriously, nor respect it as a source of news. For a show funded by a government agency, hack is plagued by inexcusable bias, and displays extremely overt agenda-driven story framing.
Hack seems to think that just because the show's target audience is willing to lap up any amount of hype, rhetoric, and anecdotal/emotion based evidence they feed them, that they are exempt from their duty as publicly funded journalists to provide high-quality, objective, professional content.
Hack, when low on relevant high-impact topics, also loves to generate hype and outrage about non-issues in what can only be seen as tabloid journalism.
As someone who fits into hacks target demographic, and admittedly agrees with hack's stance on a majority of issues, also being someone with a respect for unobscured rationality, reasonable debate, and a keen interest in journalism, I have difficulty seeing hack as anything more than glorified tabloid journalism, and am disgusted that it is promoted as a valid source of news by the ABC. Hack does nothing but promote masturbatory confirmation-bias in the country's youth, and encourage biased, emotional outrage, at the expense of objectivity and rational discussion.”Read full review »

“Always miss it on the radio, so I love the podcast. Tom and the team address issues very well, albeit briefly. I especially like that they don't allow people to back out of not answering questions. Keep it up!”Read full review »

“Love the radio show, and stoked to find I can now podcast it when I miss it (read: often!) But hey guys - what's with the lack of descriptions for some of the shows already? Surely it's not hard to write a line or two listing what the topics of the day were?? Pick up your act Triple J!”Read full review »
