“Content & guests are brilliant
A little work on how the host responds & shows empathy could be more valuable & allow the story to go deeper into the guests heart & souls as some of these experiences are very intense life experiences..”

“I love everything this man puts out. We are due for baby number 2 in July and are naming him Julian 😂 not after Julian but definitely hasn’t put us off the name, quite the opposite.”

“I added this to my library a few months back and only really started getting into it very recently, I’m captivated. Such a vast range of topics and intellectual conversations. Would love to hear more trauma based discussions.”

“There's two things that need to be worked on. When one of your guests says something funny (or something they think is funny), don't do a fake polite laugh with them, it sounds weird. It's quite OK to keep silent. The other is, once the guest has answered a question, don't swiftly...”Read full review »

“The subjects are always interesting but the host needs some work. It’s almost like he is trying too hard to put on a fake interviewers voice. It comes across as condescending and disingenuous. The questioning of the Martin Bryant neighbours showed the host’s immaturity. Weird one liner responses...”Read full review »

Sounds like they were reliving the good old days of bullying and ostracising him well before there...”Read full review »

I used to think wow that was such a great podcast I can’t believe it got discontinued… until I found this new series… so glad to have it back. Such a great concept, I love...”Read full review »

Episodes don’t have to...”Read full review »

Once or twice is more than enough. And please turn down the volume of your music - it’s too loud in comparison to the...”Read full review »

“Continuing to reference a 20 week birth, and subsequent loss of life soon after, as a “miscarriage” multiple times, is totally insensitive and insightless. The tone of these episodes is casual and often feels blasé, not at all in line with the matters being discussed.”

Towards the end of your show, when asked about her values and whether...”Read full review »

While Jason is an awkward interviewer, a bit hesitant and not wanting to ask the hard questions at times, the guests are fascinating, interesting and often people you’d never otherwise hear from.
Such a great change from the usual musicians, actors,...”Read full review »
