I think this is a really terrific show. Living in the city for many years - I love getting stories from the country as well as my own home town.

Once when I lived in Melbourne I listened regularly so I’ve been grateful to have access via ABC Listen App. This is the first show I have tuned into. Because I wanted to learn about crypto. Didn’t really enlighten me. Callers ought to have been heard out. It seemed produced with an angle against gambling which is fine, but I would prefer to be informed. The edit was annoying. Cutting off the chat at the most interesting bits. I don’t think I’ll listen again because it felt so produced & pre determined & thus not authentic.

I enjoy listening to the conversations about nature and the environment, however it is very annoying the way that the women talks over and cuts off the guests and her co-host.
