Great listen

Awesome insights, excellent facilitation by Kathryn Ryan. Any reason why it’s not the separate podcast it once was- I thought the conversations had been cancelled but the found it Nine to Noon!

Great listening

I enjoy this podcast. Hooton is outstanding.

National Party Strategy Planning meeting

Ryan leans so far to the right, she’s practically horizontal. Jus another Friedmanite that seems to infest Radio NZ now. Let’s the right winger rabbit endlessly, but constantly interrupting any left of centre input.
A neutral host would be a good start on improving this rubbish.
