It was predictable that Kinzett would come on - and time his call for the end of the show in order to deliver a spirited rebuff. This he did and finished by advising listeners that Hood-Williams has been suspended by the Welsh Conservative party whilst investigations into misconduct at Swansea Council continued.
Despite claims by both combatants that they were there to hold the administration to account, no-one listening would have doubted that Swansea Conservatives have got some way to go in sorting out their own problems first.
Update: We hear that relationships between Swansea West and Gower Conservative Associations have turned "toxic". Writs for defamation are to be issued tomorrow, according to one of the gang of three.

How long before the Welsh Government steps in and does an 'Anglesey', which begins to look like a haven of order, probity, and good governance in comparison to Swansea.
But beyond squabbling and political points-scoring what I find really worrying is the quality of our political representatives at all levels. Have we ever had such a poor crop?
I listened in this morning, which is unusual as I normally find it more rewarding to shave my hamster. Kinzett came over as Reasonable Rene, even when he mentioned PHW's suspension. But it's only to be expected I suppose given what he does for a living.
I noticed that he was determined to spell out that he had taken his concerns about dodgy dealings to the chief executive who then reported the matter to the ombudsman. No contradiction from Peter Black either on line or on air (although he only had limited time to do the latter).
The only question left for me is how to upload the screen shot of the comments he deleted from his blog, i.e. "I have asked and been told that it what happened, etc". Will we ever get an admission that he was misled - or possibly tried to mislead others?
