“What a great story that merged 2 different timelines. It overlays the story of a “graffiti artist” the King of Kowloon & the protest movement in 2019 (and 2014). The music & editing are great & very captivating. The content are fascinating & offered a fresh angle to both the King...”Read full review »

“The King of Kowloon was incredibly moving, educational and important. Thank you for creating it and sharing the King’s and Hong Kong’s story. I stand with you 💛”

“Just finished the King of Kowloon series. What an amazing story. And later episodes inform why the 2019-era protests seemed to “disappear” from the news when Covid came along. Thank you Louisa Lim and colleagues.”
“Started this series with “The Somerton Man Mystery”. I have to say this was one of the least satisfying podcast series I have ever listened to. The episodes are short, but even then they contain a lot of filler: time spent repeating what you heard in previous episodes, and drawn out...”Read full review »

“I really wanted to like this but it is shallow, overly reactionary, on behalf of a host that seems far too naive on the world of beauty to be hosting. Very out of touch.”
“E4 of face value seems to stop at approx 9 mins in and automatically jumps back to E3, it’s done this about 3 times for me, I’d be keen to hear the end of the series, kinda frustrating!”

“I have listened to the first 2 episodes of ‘face value’. Could not bring myself to listen to the third episode.
The people interviewed have a mental health condition called body dysmorphia. This show does not call this out or talk about the many others without this mental health condition who...”Read full review »

“Excellent public health journalism and a timely reminder of the benefits of vaccinations and the mass public backing required. However, I noted the absence of a contributory factor to why Pakistan remains resistant to widespread vaccination against polio. Namely in the attempt to track down and...”Read full review »

“Needed more than ever at this time of worldwide ‘freedom’ protest- seems to be based on a convergence of disinformation…yet this terrific podcast stopped, and instead filled in with one called ‘What the British Stole’.”

“This is an enjoyable program. However, I do think it’s ironic you chose to have Sarah Wilson discuss influencer culture. Given she was one of the early Australian influencers who encouraged people to go against medically researched dietary advice and framed it as “just asking questions.” Whilst I...”Read full review »
“In a time when covid conspiracy is ripe this podcast is very worthwhile to gain insight into how people can get swept into conspiracies rather than critical thinking evidence based thought that is needed more than ever”

“Well researched and informative. Thank you for going so far down these rabbit holes so I don’t have to. Having said that it is important to understand the (however warped) opinions, experiences and perspectives of others.”

“This podcast added heat, rather than light, to the topic of what is true by ridiculing people with unusual beliefs.
I would have preferred a more exploratory discussion presenting different perspectives in a respectful light. For example using philosophical and possibly Pacific / indigenous...”Read full review »

“Excellent podcast. The series on epidemics was thorough but still entertaining and this new series on conspiracy theories promises to be equally so. Recommended.”

“The last episode of Season 2 was mixed with an instrumental track. I was listening for the interviews, not for the background noise. The soundtrack was very annoying because it was distracting and competed with the interviewees' voices.”Read full review »

“All episodes have been of interest to me. I am old enough to remember iron lungs, I had friends who were so worried their beloved horse may get Hendra and my son was not able to access the multiple drug therapies for AIDS. The series reveals the incredible work done by so many to keep humans...”Read full review »

“Been a fan since season 1. This season is just as excellent and fascinating.
Each episode is presented epidemiology as a detective story. It doesn’t shy away from the complexities of public health, how politics intersect it and how short sighted human society is in general.”
“I’ve always been a big fan of ABC podcasts but this one is the creme della creme. Very well researched and put together and am hoping for a new season in 2021!!”

“A superbly-constructed and researched trans-national whodunnit from Australia’s national broadcaster Radio National that rocks you to your core and leaves you asking “What are our governments doing to prepare for the next cross-species pandemic virus?”. Well done team RN. 👍🏽”
