David is informative and entertaining. Michelle has become increasingly outspoken but often interrupts without contributing any meaningful information. Am sad that over the past 20 or so episodes, I’ve found her more & more irritating. I’m sure that this wasn’t the dynamic when I started...Read full review »

“The rent is cheap in Gaza”. Honestly how insulting. Interesting to hear the views of the privileged on genocide and war crimes (or lack of acknowledgment at all).

You constantly interrupt and have nothing valuable to contribute. Keep up the good work David!

The eagerness to drink vodka in Moscow & set up a bureau in Russia, while they commit war crimes in Ukraine - wow. I couldn’t believe this is the line that Australians are taking. It’s acceptable that relations with China should thaw somewhat in spite of their poor human rights record. But...Read full review »

5 stars for David, 2 stars for Michelle, who continually interrupts and gives her right wing opinions on a podcast that is supposed to be about educating us on matters of intelligence and spying and not forcing more of her Murdochian styled right wing opinions on us. If we want to listen to that...Read full review »

The stories are fascinating, when they’re flowing they’re brilliant. The downside is when the host, and the former spy, get lost in their personal political leanings, then present their personal thoughts as facts. It stalls the flow of the story, podcast and ruins the enjoyment of what would be...Read full review »

I thoroughly enjoy this podcast but as an editor can I point out that continuing to refer Ukraine (an independent country) as “the Ukraine” semantically affirms Russia’s position.

Very well researched and presented by David. But less snarky Michelle interrupting for no real reason please.

I really like this podcast, I like how detailed it is. My only criticism is that the guy talks SO fast and sometimes mumbles through his words (when he’s excited about a topic) which makes it hard to follow what he’s saying. Overall, really great podcast!

What happens when your larrikin brother is somehow employed by ASIO. The stories from his days in ASIO are hilarious and fascinating. The explanations of past and current events from the spy perspective is enthralling. The guests are the absolute best. Love this podcast.

Insightful and funny in equal measure. Fascinating topics backed by obviously solid research. Thanks!

Fantastic series. Thanks David for the amazing depths of your research. Please make another series!

David is funny, fascinating and logical - you can listen to a fair balance of political exploration when it pertains to his interesting background and subject matter. Don’t know why the other host is there, annoying with little to add and her biased political views are not needed in a podcast...Read full review »

Podcast covers off on some interesting topics in an entertaining way. Unfortunately on occasion you have to listen to these two hacks sounding off on their views on particular individuals. Specifically Julian Assange and Jean-Philippe Wispelaere. Issues here are a lot more complex but maybe they...Read full review »

Great informative show and the two host play well off each other. Funny, informative and a great listen. Good job guys!
Nikolas Carbone via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/09/20
Man I cannot listen to the host any more. Can she please just let her guests speak, it does not always have to be about her! I thought it might have just been the first few episodes, but it's getting worse.Read full review »

Have never given a review before but this show is worth it. Love the stories!! Plus I have a mate just as loose as Dave sounds who also got into a a certain Australian government agency at a very young age before being booted out for being too loose. And this agency issued guns!!! So it seems a...Read full review »

Really enjoying David’s podcast. I saw the live show, too; also brilliant! This would make an excellent Netflix series.
