Well worth a listen

Great series of podcasts thus far. Well done to all involved for having the courage to open up and tell their story

Coconut

We are all human is a ridiculous name for a podcast made by a man that once said the most disgusting and degrading thing about black women. I suppose that’s fine because it isn’t offensive to non indigenous people. Sam Thaiday is a horrible man.

Brilliant

Crazy how just hearing other people talk about their struggles and mental health can help others in similar head spaces, keep up the great work Sammy!
