Great podcast that gets to the nitty gritty of Australian and international politics. Haven’t heard a podcast like it.

For anyone who wants a smart, accessible insight on politics from someone who has decades of experience in the field, this is the podcast for you. I enjoy the combination of sober and sharp analysis, witty banter, and compelling guests. Politics podcasts are often dry, but this one is an exception. This podcast has helped me deepen my understanding of what’s going and why.
