    The “Fran and Patricia” podcast is great.
    This is one of my favourite 30 or so minutes each week. I feel like they cut to the chase on what is really happening inside the Canberra bubble and they always have an interesting guest to add to the conversation. I’ve also hoped for a YouTube version to see what they’re really drinking when the glasses clink. Cheers to that!

    I grateful for these ladies!
    I live in America and these ladies have done so much to help educate me on the finer workings of the Australian government and politics. I feel like I have two close friends whispering in my ears each week about what is driving Australian news, politics and government. Thank you ladies!

    Love from the States
    I’m an American who wishes our political media could do a show like this. Love ya Fran and PK!
  • Camden Raynor
    Absolutely phenomenal!
    This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts! When I started listening, I was just an interested American looking to escape our political problems and learn more about Australia. I honestly feel like I now have a halfway decent understanding of the ALP/Coalition dynamic - I can’t wait to be following along with the election with Fran and PK!

    Bring Back Fran
    I’ve enjoyed the show a lot previously, and the guest (or new?) co-hosts have been fine, mostly, but Fran Kelly is much missed. At the least it’d be good to have PK explain what’s going on.

    It’s a party
    I listen to this podcast every Thursday while I’m feeding my pigs, an appropriate pairing, I think. The podcast is well balanced and informative, rarely snarky, and a pleasure to listen to.

    Excellent review of the week in politics
    Fran and PK, provide an interesting and entertaining analysis of the week in politics. Mandatory listening for anyone with even a passing interest in politics
  • Doyenesque
    Informative apolitical election conversations
    These two are easy to listen to and go into a little more depth on some of the topical items of the political week. I like that they sound natural as if an informal conversation the listener is a part of, apart from the songs... Worth a listen.
