Customer Reviews
Easy to understand and highly entertaining!
In this world of politics, we find ourselves becoming evermore disconnected with the world of governance that defines how the everyday Australian lives their life and spends their money. This is a troublesome and worrying issue as it holds our governments (local, state and federal) to a lower level; with less opinions and engagement comes less oversight and scrutiny of the powers that be. In fact these days I see more scrutiny of the AFL and the rules implemented there than I do our own government.
This podcast shines a light through all of the toxicity we see in the media, through all of the jargon and propaganda-style marketing coming from the government and corporations alike to bring us simple, easy to understand explanations of things going on all whilst still being entertaining and engaging.
PPP you have been amazing thus far after recording only two episodes but if your Instagram content is anything to by, we’ll have the country far more engaged and informed about politics to bring about real change at the next lot of local, state and federal elections.
Informative peak behind the curtain
The Punter’s Politics Podcast (PPP) has engaging and relatable hosts who are peering behind the curtain and explaining what actually goes on in politics and why it isn’t working for the average punter
All Aussies must listen
