Alan Jones, Australia’s nastiest, notorious shock jock, seemingly on his final downward spiral. His aggressive dark charisma persuaded audiences who would have been better served by taking an intelligent step back before succumbing to simplistic messages based on ingrained prejudices, promising easy fixes to complex problems. Kate McClymont is an absolute national treasure.

These two humans are excellent. They bring news, joy, relatability and are just all round excellent broadcasters. Their news round up is always intelligent and thought through. Their ability to make fun of themselves and each other is lovely.
