Customer Reviews
My Number 1 Podcast
I love the Simon Morris's eloquent, observed, challenging look at films. His podcasts are punchy and quite indepth, even for their short-ish length.
I appreciate that he holds films to a high standard- including New Zealand films.
The format works well - he choses interesting extracts of clips to compliment each podcast. He is current, politically savy and knowledgable. The podcasts are enjoyable and informative listening. Thank you.
Why the advertising RNZ? You are a fully funded public broadcaster
Simon Morris is great. His reviews are great and well informed
( note Dan Slevin is not great - he’s dour, pretentious and constantly gives spoilers - I don’t listen when Dan is subbing in).
HOWEVER- why is RNz putting ads at the beginning and end of each 4 minute review. It doesn’t happen with any other RNz podcasts and is truly irritating. RNz is a fully publicly funded body so why the irritating ads?
