“Once when I lived in Melbourne I listened regularly so I’ve been grateful to have access via ABC Listen App. This is the first show I have tuned into. Because I wanted to learn about crypto. Didn’t really enlighten me. Callers ought to have been heard out. It seemed produced with an angle...”Read full review »

“I enjoy listening to the conversations about nature and the environment, however it is very annoying the way that the women talks over and cuts off the guests and her co-host.”

“The convo hour was once great listening but now it’s more promotions of industry and fluff pieces on irrelevant subjects. I find abc Melbourne has really changed since John left and is targeting a much younger audience. The show needs to go back in-house and be hosted by Virginia in the studio....”Read full review »

“Rarely miss listening to The Conversation. Don't always agree, but Faine treads a narrow path given the IPA/mining infiltrated Auntie & pressure from the, er, IPA/mining infiltrated Federal government, therefore I make allowances.
Writing this while catching up with 28th Feb podcast of...”Read full review »

“Really interesting array of guests but the common element is a host full of his own self-importance and elevated belief the audience cares for his anecdotes. Good guest, pity about the host except Waleed Aly - he's brilliant”Read full review »

“This host is so infuriating - and patronising at times to his guests. He's just so....so.... Melbourne!
Richard Fiedler's version of Conversations is MUCh better. Better researched, and the fact that he will only have one guest in an hour's program makes for a much better format.

“Often really interesting people but too many at once. Not as keen on the musical themes. Please date the podcasts for me and give a theme so I know if I will be interested. Loved former Justice Kirby, Anna Funder and the Azaria Chamberlain conversations.”
