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.

The art of conversation

I love this podcast and look forward to the weekly posts. In these days of digital overwhelm, it’s nice to sit and listen in on these real people having real experiences. Thank you for bringing this podcast to life. Also love the original music that incorporate the themes of each conversation. Just lovely.
Brilliant!

I don’t remember how I stumbled across this podcast but I’m so glad I did. I love it. And I love the songs written for each episode. I often wonder what the people who were interviewed think about the songs written for them! I listen to the songs while I wait for a new episode each week. Please don’t ever stop!
Wonderfully refreshing

I fell upon this podcast from reading my daily news 1440. After listening to The story about the elderly gentleman who threw his phone into the pond I was instantly hooked! I went back and have been listening to each episode from the very beginning, and each person, and their lives are told wonderfully. I like many others, always wonder about people when I walk by and what their lives are like and through you and your podcast I no longer have to wonder. We are in some way, the same! Please don’t stop!
I wish

I wish I would have discovered this podcast 5 years in the future instead of now, that way I can have a giant backlog to listen through. Now I’m stuck waiting every week. Love love love this podcast.
