Excellent

Excellent Guardian reporting. Where would we be without it?

Don’t waste your time

My experience with this podcast left me wanting more, as it failed to provide the necessary elements for an engaging and memorable listening journey. The hosts' monotonous delivery, combined with subpar production quality, lack of structure, excessively long episodes, and unimpressive guest selection, all contributed to a lackluster and forgettable experience. In today's vast world of exceptional podcasts, this particular offering fell short of meeting even the most basic standards of quality and entertainment. I highly recommend exploring alternative options that showcase engaging hosts, well-produced episodes, and thought-provoking content to ensure a truly fulfilling podcast listening experience. There are plenty of remarkable podcasts out there waiting to captivate and inspire.

Learn Every Time

I am so grateful for this podcast. I learn something about our world with every episode. I am a US citizen and appreciate the opportunity to learn more about Australia as well as other countries. I also have discovered the many different perspectives people from other countries have of the US. The opinions are not always positive and that doesn’t surprise me, especially after the recent four years of former President Trump representing our country. The Full Story really does present a comprehensive and balanced review of every topic they cover. Thank you for a podcast that is both informative and interesting!'

Australia’s only quality media

The Sydney Morning Herald, the Daily Telegraph… After being fed the vomit they spew out, it’s refreshing to finally find quality, non tabloid, actual journalism from people other than fresh UTS grads trying to make their clickbait headline quotas.

Enjoyable, deeper dive on current news topics

I enjoy this podcast, including episodes on topics I might not have an obvious interest in. Quality journalism, accessible format.

Fantastic podcast

Not sure why there aren’t many reviews or even one star reviews but this podcast is just as good if not better than The Daily. And I listen to The Daily a lot. Laura Murphy-Oates is fantastic and I have become a huge fan of hers for always asking amazing questions and being very nuanced in her approach with interviewees. Like the title says, fantastic podcast! Please subscribe and give this podcast more likes to balance out the stupid one star reviews.
