“What a shockingly appalling episode. I thought this was going to be god journalism. No push back against the republican strategist. Just permission to spout further lies. Where was the question actually asking what specific policies Trump is proposing as opposed to the hyperbole and none sense...”Read full review »

“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 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.”

“This is very similar to The Daily. Love how they don’t just talk about the ever changing headlines rather dive deep into topics that slip the new radar. The choice of topics is good and does stitch picture that doing small thing would result in better results.”
