Steve is a breath of fresh air. I love his relaxed, no agenda presenting. I am back listening to RN Breakfast on Mondays and Tuesdays.

!im Listening in Qld

Three years of PK inserting herself and her opinions into the stories has been very tedious. For example She has been hysterical about cuts to over-servicing psychology sessions, wasted airtime with her unbridled adulation of Taylor Swift and failed to acknowledge the obvious that trump was going to win the election. Fran Kelly was very fair. I hope the Sally Sara chapter brings better balance to RN Breakfast .

Some of these stories may slip under the radar, these issues often contain useful information and may not be covered by other news outlets and Radio National gives you in-depth coverage about each topic which is great. Radio National also produces interviews which I really like because there are often interesting people in each topic, but they may not cover all sides fairly.
