Customer Reviews
Engaging and enlightening
Great stories on a variety of topics. Who would have thought that the seemingly harmless kiwi fruit could be an ecological menace.
Well-presented, interesting, and researched
Just discovered this podcast. Really enjoyed the few epsiodes I've listened to so far. The production values and presentation are great. The topics are well-researched and offer multiple perspectives on issues, giving the listener a good feel for the topic at hand. There are fun moments of humour. Photos associated with the stories can be found on their website. Will definitely keep listening to this.
