This is an excellent podcast, made worse by lack of a skilled engineer. Moderator can often barely be heard, music and other voices are all over the place. Stories are great, excellent writing and journalism. Fix the constant volume issues and you have a terrific podcast.

Riveting. I’ve devoured many episodes in one sitting. Thank you!

I have no idea who this podcaster is or what his background is but he has such a natural instinct for how to put a podcast together, what listeners want and such an empathy that comes out that I’ve loved every episode that I’ve listened to. Headstones 2, about his grandfather is once in a...Read full review »

May is bringing a new voice to podcasting - genuine, inquiring and celebrating humanity in all its weird and wonderful variety.

I just listened to one of your first episodes at a Melbourne protest. Great matter of a fact story telling & interesting to see representations from both sides. Liked the unpretentious & relatable tone.

The episode on Alzheimers left me in tears.

Quickly becoming one of my favourites. Interesting and thought provoking, I’ve been recommending it to all my friends.

These topics are so heavy, but they are covered in such a way that the listener is not pounded over the head, but gently drawn in. I mean, as I’m writing this, I’m hearing “blood was pissing out of the back of my head like a hose”, but it was said by an Aussie, so despite the horror, we’re...Read full review »

Great podcast

Found this through planet broadcasting. Sam has a talent for organizing information and telling stories in a compelling way. Not only are the stories engaging, but they are presented in such a way that I feel an emotional connection to each person I meet. The headstone series is phenomenal.

This podcast has a lot of heart. Just listened to the Headstone series... all the feels
Review for gold via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/20/17
Think This American Life (but Australian), with a dash of 99% Invisible, Conversations (with Richard Fidler), and Radiolab. The Headstone series is a stand-out.

A well produced show with plenty of substance. Congrats to Sam for creating one of the very best shows to come out of Australia in recent memory.

Is incredible, he is so heartfelt, genuine and the stories have had me in tears 9/10 - even the footy one and I don't even like the sport. Brilliant production.Read full review »

Sam has a real gift at bringing a story together. It is beyond impressive for being basically a one man production. I love getting an insight into Australia life. Keep it up!

Beautifully told and carefully narrated story of heartbreak and loss. A delicate insight into a topic rarely spoken about. Great work Sam
Sessna8 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/01/17
For a Podcast in its early days, it looks like this is set to do very well in the future. I was brought here after it was recommended by the Stranger Podcast. The 'Headstone' series has really drawn me in, making me both smile and despair at the stories of people's lives when...Read full review »

Saw this recommended by ABC in their podcast list and loved it from the first strum of the guitar in the opening. Captures an issue and explores it in a relaxed, humorous way. Great voice. Brilliant.
Flavelson via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/30/16
I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to this podcast in its infancy. The views presented are balanced and fair and the stories pay testament to the saying, "everyone is interesting to someone else." Human Ordinary is human extraordinary.Read full review »
