Customer Reviews
Nice companion piece to the blog
These two have a useful take on the Australian media and it's problems, and help to highlight the sheer foolishness and hypocracy of certain opinion columnists. Dave in particular has a refreshingly open-minded approach. Well worth a listen.
Enjoyable
This podcast never fails to not only inform but entertain. It gives an insight into their blog that words cannot convey.
Essential listening every week for me.
Compliments for the judicious
This podcast scans the week in news with a skeptical lense, it gives due recognition to outstanding deviations from the Journalist Creed.
