I found this podcast when it was back under its former name in lockdown when I was completing my MA in social work, and have been following it avidly for years, I found that the hosts are the perfect balance between hilarious and having a way with words but also able to tackle extremely difficult...Read full review »

I would love to write and ask about an experience I had recently. How can I do that?

So so refreshing and affirming to listen to you, your humanity, your beautiful social work values and your banter…. I am often cringing with Tilly and appreciate the humour of Vince. Your podcasts, this one and the last one, have really helped me to stay focused on why I am a social worker and...Read full review »

I am so glad I found your podcast. It is wonderful to hear your perspectives about social work. I have been a case manager/social worker for people with developmental delays in the USA for the past 30 years. It is good to know social workers around the world can connect and relate to each other....Read full review »

Been a fan of Vince since the SWT Facebook page and podcast, and loved when Tilly joined the podcast. These two walk the line of humor and seriousness about the profession incredibly well. I enjoy listening to them weekly and missed hearing their voices in the interim between the SWT podcast and...Read full review »

I am a social work student just finished my first year, I find your podcast very insightful and enjoy listening.

Having worked in child protection in California for over 25 years, I appreciate this podcast because the hosts totally understand the job. There are different terminologies and procedures between UK and US but the issues, concerns and rewards are the same. I enjoy figuring out the differences. We...Read full review »

I absolutely love this podcast! If you are a social worker anywhere in the world, working with any population, you need to listen to social work radio. The hosts have great chemistry and they help me know that I am not the only person with my professional struggles and frustrations. Thanks for...Read full review »

Having recently started a new SW role in palliative care I decided to use my longer daily commute time to engage my brain (only so much Taylor swift a girl can sing to in a day) and I’m really glad I came a cross you podcast! Love the dynamics between the two presenters and the topics discussed....Read full review »

Vince was absolutely right not to buy his male colleague any chocolate on Valentine’s Day! I’m sure his lovely female colleagues appreciated this far more than he would have 💕
Poppy Kate via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/07/23
I love this podcast and I love the dynamic between the hosts. Makes me laugh on the way to work every Friday morning.
Farrah59 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/03/23
The best podcast around for social work. Although the topics can be heavy (welcome to social work) I never find myself weighed down. Quite the opposite - it feels like a burden being lifted to hear such issues spoken about in a way that is rooted in the reality of our working lives. Possibly...Read full review »

I loved hearing Leanne’s perspective about Social Work and the Social Work field. I also enjoyed hearing SWT talk about the crossover with the UK. Leanne has a wealth of knowledge and her passion comes through !!!

Loved listening to this weekly but now it’s seems that the only way to get episodes is to pay on patreon.
emz d 1905 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/21/21
It’s great to hear from someone doing the work and feeling like you’re in a safe space to hear about every day’s concerns. This is def. a necessary podcast that provides relief from the everyday battles and questions we have in Social Work. I’m a happy listener.
SimBax94 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/05/21
I find this podcast refreshing when it talks about things that are controversial. For example, I may not agree that Trump should be president (and I’m highly glad that he lost), but it was interesting and eye opening to see the other side and their thought processes. I believe that as social...Read full review »
Lexie_Roxas19 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/27/20
I am horrified that this podcast used their platform to peddle hateful nonsense that stands against everything that social workers (in theory) stand for. I won’t be listening any longer.
SW_Kate via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/29/20
I listened to the episode Social Workers should vote for Trump because I genuinely wanted to hear reasons why social workers would vote for Trump. Yet what I heard was unsubstantiated reasons why she voted for Trump. Checking out the numbers, you can tell that this administration has been...Read full review »

This podcast is offensive to the field of social work and people doing the real work of fighting for social equality and justice. Horrible.

Conservation values are based on Christian values- great... but we arent a Christian nation. The whole point of the us is freedom of religion.

I only recently started listening to this podcast, and I find myself deeply disturbed as a social worker by the views the host is willing to support. As social workers, our job is to help and support many of those struggling in society. I just listened to over an hour of ranting in a show of...Read full review »

I am a social worker. I liked listening to the different stories of people in the field. However, the episode on Social Workers voting for Trump really disappointed me. I wonder what population the American lady works with. I wonder if she recognizes the harm already experienced by POC under this...Read full review »

I don’t understand why he let a trump supporter get on the podcast and spread Fox News talking points. I was interested to hear her side but she just got to spread propaganda unchallenged. She also lied about the stormy Daniel situation and hunter Biden.

This podcast gives me life! Thank you for making me feel less alone in this crazy old job we call social work.

This is the best social work podcast BY FAR. Perfect mix of laughs and serious stuff. The only problem is it’s only out once a week!

Need more forums like this where SW issues can be discussed, how do SW take part?

Brilliant podcast. Only just recently started listening but I thoroughly enjoy listening and helping me reflect on my own social work practice and help with my CPD. Keep the podcast going.

My commutes to work are made so much more enjoyable by listening to the podcasts. The team handles subjects in a sensitive and humorous way which do not shy away from the tough aspects of the profession. There is comedy and realness which I have not found in other social work podcasts and the out...Read full review »

I am enjoying this podcast. I am a forty three year old social work student. I have enjoyed listening to caring professionals already in the field. Also their humor and honesty make me think I could gladly share a pint with them.

Hey there- I’m currently an child welfare social worker in Frederick, Maryland (US). I mainly work with children and families who are working towards adoption, but previously I was a CPS worker.

Bring back Cara. This is my only criticism. I work for CPS in Mississippi (US). We are busy, and that’s an understatement.

I work in adult mental health as a Approved Mental Health Professional . Your discussion has been refreshing to hear allowing AMHPs to hopefully reflect on work they do and possible correlation with secondary PTSD .
Elliot H-W via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/17/19
I binge-listened to most of the series so far during a 15 mile (2.5 hour) marathon training run! I find it current, informative & 100% relatable! Real issues, solutions & a few laughs thrown in! 🤣 I especially liked & related to the episode discussing emotional well-being & the...Read full review »

Once again a wonderful podcast. Thank you Matt and SWT for such a brilliant job.

I feel that university...Read full review »

It’s so nice to hear actual on the ground practitioners speaking about social work - and not just the shiny bits, or just the slimy bits - but the full ups and downs of the work! Informative, funny and completely interesting, I couldn’t recommend this podcast enough! Easily my go-to podcast when...Read full review »

Hello! I’m a new case manager, fresh out of college, in the U.S. and I have to say, I love this podcast. I’ve worked with non-profits for the last 3-4 years, and have come to understand the circumstances surrounding the poor, undersourced work environments. Until I heard your podcast, I felt...Read full review »
