Customer Reviews
Anthony Bucci part 2 - lived experience is everything
I really love how you explain lived experience is important! It is so true! I have experienced homelessness, domestic violence etc. and now I’m a social worker and you can really tell the difference between workers who have life experience VS the ones who read about “a night on the street” in university!

For the record its 5 stars from me every single episode ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ onya Simmo
Podcasting mentor for youth
I like the podcast. Hearing yarns about doing lagons. Twenty years ago i did my stint. Young and stupid. But life is great now. My family is everything. I can see this sort of podcast being helpful for at risk youth. Even if it only steers one kid away from a hard life. But also a very entertaining podcast with some great interviews. No BS just straight talk.
