  • Excellence all ‘round

    The content is excellent. The host is excellent. The guests are excellent. Even the music is excellent. What I love best, though, is the pacing.

    I essentially curate my own radio station by opting for whichever topic appeals to me most from more than 30 political/history podcasts. And I’m usually doing some mindless task or driving at the same time.

    I’m in a position to judge the technical skills of the broadcasts on display and the deft interplay between and among host and guests. The segues... more

  • Left wing dribble

    The most left wing socialist podcast I’ve ever listened to.

  • Not on a par with On The Money

    The new show’s been dumbed down to a tedious degree.

    Also, so strongly aligned with all things that benefit homeowners being economically ‘good’ - as a renter, I can’t help but roll my eyes at this myopic viewpoint that gets endlessly repeated.

  • Left Leaning (ABC)

    Richard Aedy ran a great show, this replacement is no longer politically neutral. Sad that it has come to this.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The 'weird' number running the country
Q: Can we trust the national accounts, the GDP, to give us a good idea of whether life is getting better or not?
Janine indicated that it's not about trust, but about understanding what GDP represents, noting that while it's accurately produced, it doesn't directly reflect well-being.
Is corporate social responsibility dead?
Q: What would it take to bring corporate social responsibility back to life and to make it genuine?
We need a new framing mechanism for ESG, focusing more on long-term value rather than immediate profit metrics.
The great Australian wealth gap
Q: What can we do to rebalance things away from Australians, away from generations who are very and increasingly well off?
Policies need to be reevaluated to ensure they aid the next generation rather than perpetuating inequality, focusing on education and funding public schools to improve access.
The great Australian wealth gap
Q: Does any of this, any of the economic divide really matter?
Inequality is empirically shown to slow down economic growth, leaving talented individuals behind and ultimately detracting from growth.
Australia's 2035 Climate Target: Economic Hit or Miss?
Q: What if Australia doesn't get to net zero?
The world is not going to stop trying; every tenth of a degree of avoided warming matters.
