“I love the variety of topics and the knowledge of guests. A great way to get a more detailed understanding of current events. And it highlights issues that I wasn’t even aware of.”

“I love this in-depth look into aspects of Aotearoa New Zealand with a mix of news, & contemporary stories. I never know what topic I’m going to learn a little about each day on The Detail, but it’s always current, always interesting & very enjoyable.”

“Love this podcast! The deep dive into each story is always well presented and interesting. The stories are always varied and it’s a great podcast for learning more about some of the biggest stories and issues of the week. Emile Donovan is a great presenter.”

The overview given was great.

“I have been a regular listener for a couple of years. Initially, I enjoyed the shows. However, over time, I noticed that the journalism was becoming unbalanced. The journalists would state a hypothesis and then set out to prove that hypothesis by interviewing only those who supported the...”Read full review »

“Has some useful thoughts, but seems to be mainly opinions rather than actual presentation of verifiable information. Unfortunately does not check out news reports and indicate whether there is any truth behind the reports.

“Current issues in shorter form of 20-25mins but explored in detail. This timeframe is doing the job of getting behind the headlines, and into the details from multiple perspectives from people who know what their talking about. - No Joe Rogan here; without going for the long form 1-2 hour epic....”Read full review »

“Radio NZ used to have a good analysis program, Insight. The Detail by comparison is shallow, superficial trash, produced by the same sort of playschool ‘journalist’ that infest Music101. Only capable of idiotic puff pieces on entertainment trivia, noise polluters etc. Anything else, I suspect...”Read full review »

The rich list. Constant “you knows” - so irritating. And it is infectious! But otherwise, applause.”

“Appalled with the poor quality journalism and pandering to the fishing industry in today’s (13 May 2021) episode, allowing blatant lies to be spread. Shows that even The Detail is able to be paid to run stories by those willing. A total disservice to the integrity of what is normally a good podcast.”

“Normally I really like the Detail, but today’s episode on pornography was very disappointing. The host’s sensationalization of porn-“it makes me squeamish, it’s a terrible thing”- just further entrenches the idea that we shouldn’t talk about sex. It was a very tone deaf, outdated approach. At...”Read full review »
