I think they are awesome, at last another independent media outlet we can listen to.
Their billboards are plastered everywhere across the country.
Peter Williams is a good guy and what he says is common sense.
If you dont like listening to the platform, then this is a good alternative.

I and probably a lot of other people went off Peter Williams as he turned into a conspiracy theorist on his talkback show over Covid.
Could have a bearing on why he is not on talkback now?

I got that ad in the letterbox this morning, the dog looks happy. However I watch the ABC, CBC, Al Jazeera and listen to the BBC as much NZ news is very limited in scope.

I got one of those the other day; it's now resting in my recycling bin. I did make an effort not to laugh, but sadly failed.

I got a notice from Spark, saying if I don't log into my old email account they were going to delete it. It is my old business account I thought was defunct, and so want to keep it as an extra xtra. After a whole lot of drama on the phone I finally logged into my old account, which hasn't been used for well over 10 years - 5,000 emails !!! Right up to today, people are still sending emails to an account that hasn't been opened for years. I deleted them all, but it looks like it will get more mail than my current xtra email address, so probably won't even use it.

Well there is a reason he has left obviously, and he is a real nice down to earth guy.
We need more independent media and not media that takes money with strings attached.

It happens quite a lot with talkback hosts. I remember one on afternoon ZB (from memory) who used to entreat people to break a law if they thought it was a stupid one... he went... 
I think Leighton Smith went into involuntary retirement?
Sean Plunkett, another one?
They seem to get the old "I'm always right" syndrome.

Too much of our media is run by left wing agendas and funded with money with strings attached.
This is a breath of fresh air that is long overdue.
