- Josh Burns interview
I love Politics Now and the Party Room - and because I do, it goes without saying that I love PK too. As a daily and long term listener, I should rate and review more often, but I felt compelled to come and say how much I loved the Josh Burns interview. The combination of hearing the questions I would have like to asked my self and the self deprecating, honest and thoughtful answers, was a pleasure to listen to. The whole summer series was fab, but I loved this one the most. Thanks!

Australia20 days ago - Very biased
I am worried about free speech in Australia. Just presents one view. No balanced coverage. They should get a much wider range of commentators.
Apple Podcasts19958577584Australia23 days ago At first I enjoyed this. But over time I realised that it's just more garbage from the media that has befriended and idolised politicians to the point where they've lost all credibility. They dont interogate anything anymore. All they do is ask a question, get an answer and then try to analyse it as if it's something meaningful. It's trash.

The evidence of and reason for the death of legacy journalism.
