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.

I feel like I am each person’s new friend after the episodes. I laugh and get teary eyed!
Everyone is unique.

I love listening to all the interesting aspects of different people’s different lives! So unique and so illuminating of how different we all are. I found it taught me a lot. And he is very easy to talk to and accepting. I love the songs and also the voices of kids and parents just interacting as part of the background. People are just living… wonderful podcast!

Listening to others’ life experiences and perceptions of life was so heartwarming and sparked self-reflection.
Very moving stories well-executed.

Episode 2–the end song is by Sophie May. Is this custom for the show? Strangely specific but I couldn’t find this beautiful song mentioned on the internet. Thanks and great work!! Update—Okay, by episode 3, it’s quite obvious that these are beautiful original songs. These make for beautiful, poignant endings to every episode. This is my favorite new podcast in 2024.
