“Highlight of my week! Fran Kelly is SUPERB! Great to hear her again on a decent show like this. Would like to download the entire show though rather than your snippets.”

“Only 15 minutes is being uploaded on this ‘full program’ stream. It used to be the whole show. I thought the ‘individual’ episodes stream was the one to follow if I didn’t want the whole show, but maybe I’ve misunderstood?”

“Used to enjoy Geraldine’s show for its broad interest and reasonably objective views; of recent it appears to have transgressed to one where the producer’s are using the show as a conduit to push their ideologies and propagandist viewpoints - attempting to turn beliefs into fact; unwittingly...”Read full review »

“Great programme as always Geraldine but as student of history, I feel reports of Britain’s demise are greatly exaggerated. British history shows enormous turbulence in every century- the civil wars in the medieval period, persecution of Catholics in the 16th, Cromwell in the 17th, the suppression...”Read full review »

“It was refreshing to hear the well modulated, voice of eloquent Kathryn Robinson on the show this morning. I like the modern, faster pace she applies to her interviews in the program. Hope to hear her more often.”

“Hello,
Covid affects people differently. Some people have a mild illness, others die. Recently in Canberra a thirty year old and a sixty year old died - so not always the most vulnerable age group.
I think it would help inform the public if comments on covid acknowledged this complexity. It is...”Read full review »

“I love this ABC program and I never skip one. It gives such a good perspective on current affairs with the voices of specialists and analysts. It is so important to me as we try to decant all the other readings and news we have received. Geraldine’s great intellect is obviously a prime joy but...”Read full review »

“Extremely well researched, highly intelligent journalist who’s always right across the topic and, I hate to say it, refreshingly atypical of the ABC avoids leading questions and pushing an agenda”
