Must listen!

I watched The Australian Wars and was deeply moved. This led me to your podcast. I’ve just finished your interview with Rachel Perkins. Fantastic! She is an incredibly impressive woman.
I arrived here 24 years ago from Canada. Slowly I’ve been learning more about the history of this continent. It’s been very distressing to learn of the wars and massacres but Im determined to learn more and will listen to your other episodes. I’ve told my friends that it’s imperative to watch The Australian Wars and I really hope they do. We must know the history to do better going forward. Once you know better, you do better.
