Recent Reviews
  • BennyLias
    Highly recommended
    Brilliant insight and analysis. Non-biased, knowledgeable presenters with a knack of getting to the heart of an issue. Valuable resource for those interested in Australian foreign policy and related matters.
  • omarsbashir
    Excellent content
    I listen from the United States to better understand the view from Canberra. I agree with a prior reviewer who says that Darren has a voice for podcasting.
  • Imwritingreview
    Great discussions
    I'm not from Australia but I found this podcast very interesting. It gives you more perspective in what's going on in the Pacific region and how world events affect countries in that area. Also I think Darren has a great podcast voice. Very worth a listen!
  • Annabelle Nilsson
    Engaging
    Recent events of interest to a broad spectrum of Australians are weaved with structural components of international affairs. A sophisticated, informative and relevant podcast.
