“Interesting topic to be sure but a bit off the mark. When Fiji was colonised land alienation was forbidden which is why Fijians retained so much of their lands. This was largely because of what had happened in NZ despite the Treaty and etc with CMS missionaries fleecing their flocks, land wars...”Read full review »
“David, please DO NOT invite the highly arrogant Nigel Biggar back to the programme. I had to use all my patience to listen to him because I found his views on British colonialism in Australia to be highly offensive.
Thank you.

“When I heard David Marr was replacing the retiring Phillip Adams, I was relieved.
Phillip brought truth and warmth with his so-easy listening voice. David brings the same but in his own delightful way. Both gentlemen of truth. That goodness.”

“Loving David’s wit and sometimes snarkiness. He listens, and sometimes feels the need to prove himself as smart as the guest, although I think he’s often smarter.”
“Phillip would have to be the very best interviewer and conversationalist on radio and in the Australian media. I love his rich explorations of humanity and ideas. When he finally retired I was devastated! David Marr is the sole person who could succeed him😃”
“LNL provides me with the intellectual and current knowledge I need in the format I love and just about fills my driving week.
I was very sad to loose Philip Adams as my travel narrator, a role he had filled for me for the past 10 years. I barely missed an episode.
So I have listened with great...”Read full review »

“I was looking forward to the interview with Dr. Saree Makdisi, whose books I very much enjoy, but all the host did was interrupt him, cut him off, and offer counterfactual hypothetical questions. Perhaps the host shouls go to journalism school and learn how to conduct an interview, instead of...”Read full review »

“David Marr is a giant on the Australian intellectual stage. I was so excited when I found out he was going to take over LNL. We will miss Phillip dearly, however David is a great choice. David a magnificent writing, is wonderfully curious like Phillip, and has what it takes to move LNL forward....”Read full review »

However, I have been very disappointed by David’s aggressive style. 29/07/24 was absolutely awful listening (interview with Robert Fisk's widow Nelofer)… just rude,...”Read full review »

“Missing our greatest national treasure and nightly audio companion Phillip Adams enormously.
Huge shoes to fill for David, but he just doesn’t have the same soft curious interviewing style, and his dynamic with Bruce doesn’t feel that comfortable.
Time will tell!”

You interviewed me once for a book I edited, and we joked about me being in labour live on radio—I was indeed very pregnant. My son was born the...”Read full review »

“Benazir Bhutto, Hannan Ashwari, Simon Winchester, Satyajit Das and Bruce Shapiro.
Thank you Phillip. These very different guests are the ones I remember most. Will the ABC make your historic interviews available as postcasts? I would love to be able to hear them again.”
“there are so many things in the world I would never know or never have learnt about if I didn’t listen to Philip’s incisive interviews with such diverse and learned people on such a breadth of topics! Thankyou Phillip! (and team!) (And yes, Bruce once a week again would be great)”

“A companion on my late night, late afternoon and more recently at-anytime drives, P Adams has enabled me to pursue a peripatetic occupation.
Years of driving to work at all hours has been rewarded with heart pounding theme tunes, great guests and of course my favorite Renaissance man.
Thanyou”

On the other hand - having Amy Remeikis and Janis Varoufakis as a...”Read full review »

“This series never gets boring. The sheer amount and breath of amazing information, the people who are invited to the program and the astounding breath of knowledge from the host makes this one of the most insightful and interesting programs to listen to.”
“Late Night Live is fearless and instructive. It seems to me nonetheless that freedom of speech is not always upheld well in Australia . Bring Assange home.”
