Customer Reviews
In defence of Counterpoint
Respect to Aunty for putting Counterpoint in the Monday 1810 time slot, just when an LNL listener might tune in (another favourite show). Be willing to use your brain and you can quite enjoy Counterpoint. The opinions expressed may not always be agreeable but you are challenged to think the argument through.
Counterpoint
This program is one of the most stimulating and interesting programs on the ABC. I listen to a wide range of ABC podcasting as I cycle to and from work evryday and Michael Duffy's presentation is often a program I listen too more than once. Well done Michael. John Drawin
For those of who prepared to listen to other than standard drivel pumped out in the mass media
If you do not want to have the opposing point of view put forward don't listen to this set. For those of you with open and/or sceptical minds or who are just plain interested in what the Climate Change Sceptics, right-wingers and non-believers believe in drop by here to catch up. I have been a counter point listener for over 12 months now and some of the information provided and the thought provoking comments made by those not yet on the carbon train have made me go out and research the data and come to my own conclusions. So if you want to draw your own conclusions come listen here.
