“Love this podcast. Open honest and frank conversation where people disagree (take note Australian MPs - you could learn a thing or two). Gives great insight into what is happening behind the news stories as well as intelligent analysis including from guests. Get started - I think you’ll love it.”

“I always tune in to appreciate your great political observations
Would be very interested in you inviting a political journalist from the “right” to engage with you guys to see whether they could sustain a coherent argument on a matter for discussion that week”

“Love your work Fran and PK! Great political podcast that breaks down information while also being short and sweet. Always making sure to look at topics from both sides. Fran and PK are very easy to listen to and worth a listen if you’re looking for a weekly political podcast hit.”

“O WHY DID THE YES CAMPAIGN LOSE THE REFERENDUM?
- The Federal Government neglects the cost of living while spending nearly $454 million dollars on a referendum
- Western Australia’s terrible Aboriginal heritage laws (recently scrapped)
- Lack of details
- Messy messaging. For example like how...”Read full review »

“I believe the show would be far more entertaining if you had guests on who didn’t invariably toe the Karvelas/Kelly party line. It’s always seems to just ‘progressives’ cozily chatting in their ‘safe space’. Why don’t you invite onto the Show the likes of Josh Szeps, Gerard Henderson, Jacinta...”Read full review »

“Fran Kelly has nothing to offer other than LNP talking points and bias. You rarely heard the opposition view when the LNP were in government. Now Labor are in, most ABC news stories lead with the opposition view? It’s so blatant.”

“PK great you provide a platform for Indigenous people to put forward their views on the voice but please don’t put your own editorial on it. Non Aboriginal people are ill informed on the complexities of the issues. For once we need to shut up listen and let the people who do know - talk it out.”
