At a time when we lack in depth current affairs in NZ this is a welcome show with a quality journalist. Tuku Morgan was interesting and he’s right Seymour & Luxon have made a huge political mistake going after Māori and treaty.

Guyon asks the types of questions I don’t usually hear asked in the current mainstream of NZ journalism. Have adjusted my opinion on quite a few topics already so definitely worth a listen.
