“Very well produced, a pleasure to listen to and very hard to stop.
Evokes different emotions and tells a lot about human behavior and how much we still need to insist and persist to support inclusion and a more open society.”

“When some new AWARE members refuse to engage an old member in food talk! That anecdote at the start of the first episode instills the dread of what’s to come so well, because I think most Singaporeans would agree that it’s in our DNA to wax lyrical about food. Don’t worry, though, it’s a happy...”Read full review »

“I have always felt that the AWARE saga was an under-appreciated and under-studied turning point in recent Singapore history... this podcast single handedly resolves that problem.”

“Juicy. Gripping. Brilliantly done. Who would have thought such a story a story about an NGO in Singapore would be so gripping! 😆 reminds me of Serial. As a non-Singaporean, I wasn’t aware of the actual story until after listening to the first episode and googling the story. I’m recommending this...”Read full review »

“Amazing story of the injustice of weaponising religious influence in a secular society. It’s a shame that so many people are blind to the incredible work of Aware and still only see it as “a group of women promoting LGBTQ values”. I hope this changes and more are educated and begin to appreciate...”Read full review »

“A must listen to series of podcasts about how AWARE was taken over by Christian homophobes in order to overturn Aware's support for LGBTQ communities in Singapore. Fortunately, the civil society activists fought back and took back control of their organisation.”Read full review »

“Probably the first Singapore long form podcast and it is brilliant. It should be turned into a netflix movie - with its twists and turns, a whodunnit format, set against Singapore's fascinating socio political context. Music and writing are fantastic. Can't wait for the next 10 episodes.”Read full review »
