“I really enjoy The Squiz !
Claire, Kate, Alice, Siobhan and now Andrew make me smile while keeping me up to date on the world at large.
As someone who turned off TV news about a decade ago, this is what works for me now.
Dare I say it’s ‘a joyful way to get your news’”

“The BHP greenwashing ads are questionable but the new AirBNB ad is just plain offensive. It also makes no sense, am I supposed to feel sorry for the single mother who works two jobs so she can pay the mortgage on her second property which she puts on Airbnb? Those of us stuck in the rental crisis...”Read full review »

“The Squiz is great, however, since the move to two feeds they do this annoying thing where they advertise the show you’ve just listened to on the other feed, having lured you into thinking you’re listening to an episode of the show. This is such a waste of my time and I feel it’s totally...”Read full review »

“Siobhán Moran-McFarlane pronounces her beautiful, Irish name “Shiv-VAUGHN” !!!
It would behove Claire Kimball to learn how to pronounce her co-worker’s name - it’s simple common courtesy! And it’s downright rude and insulting, and I can’t imagine how Siobhán feels having her name butchered on a...”Read full review »

“Too many questionable ads and sponsors.
The fact they sometimes repeat the same ad twice in a short podcast is unbearable.

“I stumbled across The Squiz quite a while ago now and love the agenda free reporting of the news; there's no opinion, no personal takes and no selective reporting of issues from one perspective.

It's how the news...”Read full review »

“I have been a long time fan however as the Squiz channel has grown, the reporting has become less balanced. But then if you consider who pays the bills, the current advertisers - Rio Tinto, Woolworths, Bupa, CommBank, it makes sense (even if it is subtle, they aren’t going to want to piss off one...”Read full review »
