“I rarely review podcasts but if the ABC is going to lie for clicks about aliens, then it deserves zero stars.
Their recent report on alien conspiracy theories treats the whole thing as though it’s real; not an ounce of journalistic credibility to be had. It’s not just the journalist but the...”Read full review »

“Why? Because it is analytical, clearly evidence-based and presented in a non-theatrical manner.
I have stopped listening to a lot of other ABC programs over the last three years. I am interested in social justice, based upon universal inclusivity and a fair go- the essence of a civilised...”Read full review »

“I’m fed up with the constant aboriginal guilt.
Australia is going to be apologising for the next 5000 years.
Put something interesting on. Climate perhaps, the economy or the Asia/Pacific issues.”

“Used to be an excellent podcast and still sometimes is but increasingly displaying a woke sanctimoniousness and no longer a relatively agenda-free genuine attempt to provide insights about, and background to, current events and issues.”

“Good to understand the lost opportunity after the fall of the Berlin wall and missing or misleading leadership of the western democracies. Now what global citizens need is solidarity in standing up for peace. “We are all Ukrainians”!”

“‘Great opportunity for corruption’ is the slogan for Northern Territory senior-middle public sector incl politicians - no consequences for corruption up here. Why is no one investigating the secret deal to lease Darwin Port to China?”

“I’ve been subscribed to a few ABC podcasts for long time now but I’ve had it with new episodes sitting first in my app for days, ahead of newer episodes of other shows because the ABC loads them with a future date. It’s dodgy and frustrating and it only happens with ABC shows on my feed. Just...”Read full review »

“To explore the history of the West’s re-engagement with China from 1972 is a lateral and insightful angle on today’s largest diplomatic conundrum. Well planned and well done, right down to the eerie recording of Mao proclaiming the PRC in 1949.”

“Whilst this brief analysis is pretty accurate and covers much of the complex story in a succinct fashion it misses one big point.
