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. This is what I want to listen to. Thank you Tom. Refreshingly pared back, honest and moving.
Beautiful show.

Just real people with real life issues we can all relate to. We learn to not judge others upon first sight - confirming our own bias. We learn there’s a story behind the scenes that brings people to the current situation. We can learn from them and their errors and their strengths to overcome their mistakes. There are many good people out there. Lovely to have heard a little about their lives . Thank you for sharing. 🍀😊 Insaaeh

its just like so heartfelt thing to listen to. i am so grateful i found this, i listened the episode 1 and 2, just before going to bed, and episode 3 on the way to work on the train with sun coming in shining on my face. i feel like i was sitting near the brench they were sitting, just hearing on and off of their chat - effortlessly, curiously in my own space with a little distance comfortable for both of them and me. i love it.

I have never felt compelled to leave a review on a podcast but this one is really something special. A beautiful insight into the lives of ordinary people. Wholesome, comforting, heartwarming and heart wrenching. The perfect reminder that everyone has a story, everyone has struggles and everyone has their own little quirks. Everyone should listen
