Customer Reviews
Learn Every Time
I am so grateful for this podcast. I learn something about our world with every episode. I am a US citizen and appreciate the opportunity to learn more about Australia as well as other countries. I also have discovered the many different perspectives people from other countries have of the US. The opinions are not always positive and that doesn’t surprise me, especially after the recent four years of former President Trump representing our country.
The Full Story really does present a comprehensive and balanced review of every topic they cover. Thank you for a podcast that is both informative and interesting!'
Australia’s only quality media
The Sydney Morning Herald, the Daily Telegraph… After being fed the vomit they spew out, it’s refreshing to finally find quality, non tabloid, actual journalism from people other than fresh UTS grads trying to make their clickbait headline quotas.
Enjoyable, deeper dive on current news topics
I enjoy this podcast, including episodes on topics I might not have an obvious interest in. Quality journalism, accessible format.
