Interesting

Mischievous with very good knowledge on general issues and excellent summary of political issues. Only problem is sometimes doesn’t listen to answers from his guests . Opinionated!

Cringe

This guy is so disingenuous. The posh accent is actually cringe

Great!

Kieran is a breath of fresh air after George/Ivan. Good command of detail and wry sense of humour at times. I like the travel slot, the head to head/common ground. Better week in review possible of a Friday. Very good at uploading podcasts quickly which is great.. V good on insta/social. So far this show is my preference to last word/Drivetime. Great show!
