Customer Reviews
Big up !
Crucial , intelligent and entertaining documentation of NZ contemporary culture
The last two episodes have been great . Please don’t stop bro !
Strength to strength
Lewis has a great and compelling style to his discussions and interviews. His guests seem to be at ease and engaged with him. There is a relaxed and rambling nature to these podcasts which is charming and endearing. His podcasts go from strength to strength. They are a treasure.
I enjoy it a lot
Stumbled upon this podcast when someone linked the Aron Tokona (RIP) one.
I have recently returned to Auckland after a few years in Australia and was happy to hear the chats with some of the old bfm hosts that I was listening to when I left.
