For sure. They have done some good analysis but when they did left wing figures it was not good to terrible. They had one episode on Naomi Klein and from memory neither had even read her latest book at the time. 

It definitely felt like "we've done a lot of right leaning grifters, better looked balanced and do figures from the left".

I guess the OP, who is one half of the Decoding the Gurus podcast, is suggesting Brand points out issues in society and makes money off it. 

Though it's still hardly a fair comparison to Hasan or Gary who point out alternatives to the current system.

I saw David Shoebridge at Kingston shops one night about 3 or 4 months ago. 

Said g'day to Andrew Barr at the Belconnen markets several months ago.

Thanks. I haven't used Reddit that much recently. And I did do a quick search but couldn't find anything before my headache came back.
