Tom Rosenthal
Strangers on a Bench
Have you ever walked past a mysterious stranger on a park bench and wondered about their lives? Tom Rosenthal (singer-songwriter by trade) has spent the last 6 months walking the many parks of London, approaching random bench-dwellers and asking if he can sit next to them and record their conversation. Every stranger remains anonymous, neither name or place of work is ever revealed (even to Tom himself), leading to greater openness, intimacy, and surprising revelations from the participants.  Hosted on Acast.

So happy to have found this podcast. A wonderful glimpse into a strangers life that is thought provoking and meaningful. Everyone has a story and it’s a privilege to hear each one.

Lovely
Just a sweet little snippet of a view into someone’s life. Gentle and easy to listen to and very human. Sometimes thought provoking and it’s always a privilege to hear others perspectives and imagine their lives. Nice
