Description
It’s not 1984 anymore but The Thought Police are everywhere. For better or worse Mike Graham and Kevin O'Sullivan will be your consciences. But don’t worry. They’re not reporting back to the Oceania thought crime specialists, they are free thinking journalists on a mission. Two established talkRADIO broadcasters with big opinions, they will deliberate, masticate and ruminate over all the big issues. Covering everything from Covid to conferences, politics to papers and finance to football, no stone will be left unturned.
It’s The Thought Police. We’re watching you.
