“The narrator’s family entered into a bad business deal, and has used ABC as a weapon against the woman they blame, as well as her parents. The patriarch of the aggrieved family admits to hacking into the alleged perp’s email account. Rather than saving screenshots (which could imply some level of...”Read full review »

“Ollie had extraordinary psychological insight into Leslie. This was an engine that powered the podcast. But it also had a family element that is unusual. The final words from Greg are moving. I learned something about myself from this podcast.”

“I found this a great podcast, full of emotion as well as information.
I’m an immigrant, but I’m from China of Russian immigrants who fled to China from Russia after the Russian Revolution. There are so many people looking for a place to belong. Ultimately, Australia does give us that place. I...”Read full review »

“I grew up in Perth but only have vague recollections of the events described in this podcast. Giving an insider’s perspective of what happened and how it effected the Asian community helped me gain a better understanding of that time. As a young person I was probably oblivious of the undercurrent...”Read full review »

“I remember this time in Perth. It is important to acknowledge and remember. We can never tolerate hatred for any reason and particularly as racism is totally irrational. I wonder if anyone ever asked van Tongeren why?”

Sometimes when I tell people what happened to me, I get the sense they don’t believe me or assume I am exaggerating. I was so young, maybe I misremembered. So I’m...”Read full review »
