Thank you. Great to hear Fran Kelly again.

The value of Saturday with Geraldine

The impressive feature of this invaluable program, over an extended period, is its attention to ideas far more than the pantomime of weekly politics. Geraldine and her production team have provided an essential stroll through the ideas driving society, economy and politics at a time when the world around us is grappling with policy failures and a new set of challenges.
