Really enjoying these podcasts, they are consistent and a great length. What’s really refreshing is to have essentially an open look at a leader of a political party. Most leaders see interviews, podcasts, TV as an issue as it shows who they really are ( which is fundamentally not very likeable). Zack has regular conversations on a range of topics that aren’t easy, asks questions and also relays his understanding of the topic while taking in the views of the guests. Leadership is no longer authoritarians, but empathy, collaboration and principles. All these attributes are evident in Zack when listening to these podcasts. As a soft green voter in the last election, these podcasts have mobilised me into a donater at the current by election, and I will be an active canvasser in the local elections coming up. Keep up the great work Zack!
