Customer Reviews
Very good interviews and national stories
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.
Faraz Tahir more than a ‘refugee’
Important not to reduce this young guy who’d been through so much and on his first day of a new job in this way. His backstory is equally available he deserves more than a a nameless one word description
ABC balance issues
Out of all of the ABC programs for left wing indoctrination, this program is a little bit more moderate. Unfortunately in Australians are funding an unbalanced public broadcaster.
