This show couldn't come at a better time considering the resurgence of One Nation. We need to hear these voices. Beverley has taken on the mammoth task of being a voice of the screaming minority and does it eloquently and she has done her research so well! Great speakers! I will be following...Read full review »

It’s Not a Race is a beautiful podcast that nourishes my biracial soul. It’s also hilarious. And important. And definitely is the podcast that Australia needs right now.

Great perspective on the inherent racism still experienced by people in our community. Reminds me we still have a long way to go!

Hi Beverly, Just finished listening to all, if not most of the episodes, while trying to write my research paper on intimate partner violence, housing crisis in Vancouver, and racialized women's health. Listening while doing this gives me strength to keep writing it. I hope you continue the...Read full review »

LOVE this podcast about race in Australia - its the flipping bees knees

Fascinating and insightful, this podcast challenges the idea that Australia doesn’t have a race problem.

Finally! Stories from Australians that I can truely, deeply connect with. At times I bubble up inside with emotion or excitement hearing perspectives and stories that are not often not given air. One episode you asked ‘when was the first time you saw yourself’ for me this podcast is ‘the first...Read full review »

Well done to all the team. Must listen for all especially reforming white racist males like me

Great podcast. Can you please do an episode that discusses Latinos in Australia? We are often left out of race discussions in Australia.

Seriously if you are a not a person of colour you need these insights. I am re listening to these programs to subvert my innate attitudes and beliefs.

This is a great podcast. It's a breath of fresh air for a person of colour living in Australia. Go Beverly!Read full review »

Show I’ve been looking for-thank you! Awesome guests, great topics, and a wonderful sense of humour!

I am an American who is a big fan of the content put out by the ABC. This podcast is a stellar example of the kind of quality ABC produces. I listened to almost the entire season in one insomnia-fueled night, and I have to say, it was an excellent partner through the wee hours. I was riveted,...Read full review »

Beverly is a wonderful host. She is intelligent, articulate and insightful. Thank you so much for this podcast!
funky_lem via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/08/17
Discovered this via ABC Radio app which played an extra from the series. The team cover a vitally important subject, racism, with directness, respect, humour, intelligence and creativity. This makes for engaging listening that I think can truly help bring us all closer to real understanding. I...Read full review »

Heard about this podcast from a feature on the TBTL podcast. After hearing that story from Beverley on TBTL, I Judy knew i had to check out this podcast. I love the topics that are covered. I like the effective use of humor. Hits close to home as I tend to use humor to deflect painful racial...Read full review »

Thanks for some incisive analysis.

This is a such an interesting podcast. I can't stop recommending it. Each episode has me enthralled with the perspectives on thinking about race put forward. It is helping me to challenge my thinking on race and expanded my mind.Read full review »

Season 1 was great, and I'm hoping Beverley Wang and her team get to produce a Season 2 of the podcast (I'm looking at you Radio National...) For me personally, there are a few things I have in common with the host and more generally with the experience of racism: I'm Canadian, like...Read full review »

Every episode is so different and equally great listening
EmK.H. via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/10/17
The conversation Australia needs to have, and no better way to have it than to dive head-on into these direct, respectful discussions about race relations. Definitely going to stick with this show!

It's an important conversation to have in Oz, and they cover it openly. I look forward to more!Read full review »

Not just about personal anecdotes, but interesting discussion on "racial" patterns of Australian culture. As an Australian with Chinese ethnicity, I often come across confusion from white, and also coloured, Australians. "Yes, I don't have an accent, my family has been in...Read full review »

As a kid of two Burmese immigrants and growing up in a majority white Australian suburb, it's so good to hear that other people have the experiences I had growing up and are navigating through the same obstacles that I currently am going through now as an Asian-Australian comedian.

Frank discussions. Short and sweet 20-30 min eps. Highly recommended.

When I asked for a book on critical race theory for Xmas I was greeted by equal parts quizzical looks and hostility by my family. 'Is this for Uni?' they asked. Inconceivable that a young(ish) white Australian might just *want* to learn more about race and whiteness. It's not a race...Read full review »

Thank you for creating such an awesome podcast!
chrisn3o via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/19/17
Fascinating, superbly researched and presented with great skill. This is one podcast I would unreservedly recommend! Posing more questions than it answers - Beverley Wang absolutely nails it!
Mechka via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/18/17
Warm, funny, great stories and admirable research. Upbeat listen about serious topics.
Mel.5050 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/16/17
Thanks so much for making an Australian podcast about our distinct relationships with race. Inspires me to have difficult but important conversations! Listening to each other is so helpful. And this is way better than reading distressing news on my bus each day. Recommending!
Jane Hakanson via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/09/17
So interesting to hear perspectives on race outside North America and very interested in the colonial parallels between Australia and Canada. The Jedda discussion was great. Can't wait to hear more.Read full review »

I am surprised everyday at the casual racist behaviour of people around me. I'd like to believe that most don't mean it and this podcast creates another avenue for them to learn that that behaviour is not OKRead full review »

So few Australian media outlets are capable of producing and delivering such vital work. Whether there is a lack of willpower or resources, it is mostly the ABC tackling important and uncomfortable topics. Subscribe. You won't regret it (unless you're you know what).Read full review »

Great, thoughtful and entertaining podcast! So much scope for this in Australian culture.
Soniquemeb via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/02/17
This is a smart, sassy and engaging podcast on a theme we need to talk about in a more informed way. Beverley Wang is a fantastic host and guide. One of the best podcasts for 2017 so far.
Carolien L via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/02/17
This podcast is essential listening for anyone living in Australia in 2017.
FrenkWillet via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/01/17
I've listened to the first two episodes, and they're interesting, well produced, and they have a good sense of humour. Looking forward to what's next!
Mod Lebowski via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/01/17
I just listened to the first two episodes. Australia has a complicated history with race and Beverley is able to approach these topics with an interesting and informative perspective.
Anonymous Ten via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/01/17
Yes listened this morning! Loved it! (I know we need to stop comparing local content to US and British content to say it's ~legit~ BUT) I would describe Its Not A Race as a local version of Code Switch :) 10/10Read full review »
