Strangers on a Bench
Have you ever walked past a mysterious stranger on a park bench and wondered about their lives? Tom Rosenthal (singer-songwriter by trade) has spent the last 6 months walking the many parks of London, approaching random bench-dwellers and asking if he can sit next to them and record their conversation. Every stranger remains anonymous, neither name or place of work is ever revealed (even to Tom himself), leading to greater openness, intimacy, and surprising revelations from the participants. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This podcast perfectly captures the beauty of gentle, kind, non judgmental human interaction. It proves everyone has a story, adeptly extracted by Tom Rosenthal’s considered questions and authentic listening. It’s simply beautiful. I hope I get to chat with Tom on a bench somewhere, someday.

Its beauty lies in the simplicity of the format and it’s a reminder that there’s no such thing as ordinary people. The gentle, sensitive and thoughtful questions allow the subjects to tell their story and Tom is never centre stage. The songs at the end of each story are beautiful and heartfelt and it’s radio/podcasting at its finest
