A great podcast with knowledgeable contributors. If there's a flaw in it, it may be that it needs more viewpoints that conflict with Eamon's perspective. Anyway, this is essential listening.

Impressed

For a self taught (unstructured) educated man, he approaches his subject matter in an unfettered way, has mastered good vocabulary and uses language appropriately. I like the more mature man and his greater propensity to be more objective, unlike the younger protagonist. :)

fed up listener

Dunphy is the most biased moderator of all current affairs podcasts i listen to, he is no more a political journalist than the man in the moon
