Customer Reviews
Outstanding and Needed!!
Thank you!! I love how this podcast discusses topics that our society is too shy to discuss. We all want and need to learn, but we have nowhere we can safely and non-judgmentally do so. This podcast makes me feel not so alone. Please keep up the phenomenal work!! It’s greatly, greatly appreciated!!
love this podcast!!!
They cover a ton of information, get personal testimonies from lots of types of people, bring on great experts, and touch on everything in a super fun way. I love everything about it and look forward to every new episode :)
Smart conversations about under discussed topics
Nat and team do a great job of talking about issues and questions that plenty of people are curious about but may not have a safe place to discuss. It’s interesting and informative and always presented in an educational and not leading or condescending way. It’s fun an empowering and the kind of content more young Australians should engage with!
