Customer Reviews
Interesting guests and a terrific interviewer
. . . Everyone and their brother is on the internet doing podcasts and interviews these days - Richard Fidler gets points for the rarest thing- skill in talking to people.
Deceptively simple, but pushes the story a long to the good bits and worth studying how he makes it look easy.
Conversations
I absolutely love this program. Great stories well researched and very often completely surprising. A must podcast
Click go the shears boys
Great program on the shearer from Bollon, Cunamuulla n the west. Such people do make a difference n great giving them a voice and hearing of their achievements. Hearing from the everyday people brings sanity to the stillness that we are exposed to daily. The two interviewers of this podcast make Conversations worth listening to.
