“I consider myself left of center and even for me this podcast is so far left, rationality is questioned. I’m also not American but even I’m taken aback by how anti-American the rhetoric is. If you’re into that kind of thing, then this is the place for you but even as a lefty, it’s too much for...”Read full review »

“•EPISODE: “Coffee with Extra Trump”. Annoying guest catchphrases: “I mean …”; “… quote unquote …”.”

“I find Jess’ voice too loud and unbalanced wrt Matt’s. The laugh is also too frequent long and loud. It’d be great if sound techs could modulate/balance voices - I often turn off as Jess’ voice too dominating. Content great”

“I enjoy the podcasts but the bias is evident. There is often propagation of anti trump messages like January 6 conspiracies that Trump orchestrated undemocratic violence and an “insurrection “ despite him explicitly calling for peaceful and democratic protests, protesters not being armed or...”Read full review »

““Australia if you’re listening” is a brilliant program that spells out how thoroughly our politicians are not up to their jobs. They have no excuse - Donald Horne warned of the crisis we now face in The Lucky Country - published in 1964. Both sides of politics are too scared to be visionary and...”Read full review »

“Very digestible breakdown of parties, the campaign and the most importantly the people - leaders, movers and their hangers on. Even the ones that fall out of windows. I’m looking forward to an explainer about Steve Miller now. Thanks!”

“I have listened to every series of “If You’re Listening” and have honestly enjoyed every episode. My only niggle is that as each one ends I find myself thinking “Oh no! Don’t stop just yet….What about…?” Thanks so much; each week I learn something new and often see a topic from a fresh perspective.”

“The way he explains what’s happening in US politics is brilliant. He foregoes the sensationalism and biased coverage of US media for insightful, factual coverage. I’ve been listening since ‘Russia if you’re Listening’ and hope his coverage continues. If you haven’t listened to ‘Russia if you’re...”Read full review »

“Matt Bevan and the IYL team consistently produce some of the best podcast content I’ve ever encountered. Deeply researched, engagingly (even addictively) presented, and just the right balance of humour and optimism, and the unflinching presentation of less-than-ideal facts. Thank you so much Matt...”Read full review »

“The basic format of the show is to look at the history of a situation and then analyse how it affects the situation today.
Recently, the show has delivered the history but doesn’t attempt to address the impact now.
For example, the most recent episode about Kamala Harris asks “So if she wasn’t...”Read full review »

And like Andrew Denton, he brilliantly balances being entertaining and being...”Read full review »
