Customer Reviews
Wow
Wildly profound and thought provoking! I quite honest don’t care about the subject matter in this podcast but the moral questions she asks are fantastic and makes you have to reflect. 5/5
Very complex tale
The story dives quite deeply into the context surrounding the animals, the park, the country and the people. Great story telling. Beautiful audio as well.
Rhino poaching podcast turns social injustice podcast
Social injustice is an important subject in our time, community and social setting - there is no denying that! However, I went into this Podcast thinking they are going to explore the very serious issues of a rampant Rhino poaching problem. That was the case until the 2nd half of the series which turns into more of a social injustice exploration rather than sticking to the plot. I understand that there are deeper issues to the poaching than what is presented on the surface. A couple of episodes towards the end dig much deeper and wayawrd than just trying to find why these young men are poaching.
