“I love listening to Flightless Bird - just the right balance of playful and factual and a perfect way to brighten up a weekday! Will miss Monica’s input as this podcast goes out on its own but David is delightful to listen to and I’m excited to see what he does with the podcast going forward.”

As an Aussie I share a lot of Farrier's style of humour and his thoughtful storytelling make each episode engaging and insightful. Highly recommend for an entertaining listen!”Read full review »

“David just simply has a way with words. He may use different words than Americans do, but I could listen to him talk for days. He’s such a rap scallion and I love him”

“Flightless Bird is a hilarious journey through the quirks and curiosities of American culture, led by the charmingly befuddled Kiwi, David Farrier. With each episode, you'll find yourself laughing, scratching your head, and maybe even questioning what makes America so special and strange.”Read full review »

“I had known about David Farrier through his documentary films so I knew this podcast would be entertaining. It is but it’s much more. I love getting a different perspective on what we Americans think is normal. Subscribe. You won’t regret it.”

“With Flightless Bird, David Farrier continues to unleash the charm offensive he started with Tickled and Dark Tourist. Here he covers a wide range of topics and subcultures, diving deep into the minutia of his weekly subjects. Insightful and playful, all delivered with Farrier’s signature sweetness.”

“I’m actually quite excited to see where David takes the show post Armchair because I feel like he can do so much more with it as he’s an amazing storyteller. Would love some longer more in-depth episodes that might even dip into the world of Dark Tourist… hopefully?”

“It’s like having a really really smart and funny friend but it’s in a podcast so you think you’re friends but really you aren’t. David has made me laugh and been such a fun partner in all my runs while I listen. He also does have some not funny ones and those are good too!”
