Customer Reviews
Excellent
Intelligent, well researched, funny and soooo interesting. I listen on my way to and from work. The hosts are engaging and are empathetic. Great to hear an episode to Lindy Chamberlain who truly suffered a tragic and unresolved crime at Uluru (must admit I have not heard it called Ayers Rock in years - that name is very white settler and not used much anymore). Love love this podcast.
My favourite podcast
These two have ruined all other podcasts for me. Used to have a great rotation going but now I can’t help but turn on one of their episodes at every available moment. The balance of humour, superbly researched content, professionalism and ability to make the listener feel like they’re in the room is second to none. Keep up the good work Sarah and Mike!
Thank you Sarah and Michael
I love this podcast. The topics I (think) I know something about are illuminated with the most exquisitely researched details. The topics I know nothing about and some I thought I had no interest in are brought to life in a way that entertains as much as educates.
