Flightless Bird follows journalist David Farrier as he learns about what makes America special from his unique perspective as a Kiwi accidentally marooned in the Land of the Free. Infinitely curious but never judgmental, each week, David (along with cohost and American Rob) seeks to understand what makes America so unique, strange, and wonderful.

Much like listening to Trevor Noah on The Daily Show, Farrier’s perspective on all things American is not only entertaining, but you may just learn a thing or two. Love the outside perspective and following David and Rob down niche rabbit holes!
Great variety of topics and love the format. David seeks out a lot of niche areas and somehow manages to always find people who are experts / can share their experiences with it. Look forward to it every week
I love David and his podcast, his journalism and I appreciate he takes us along on his hilarious journey of becoming American. The podcast got even better since Rob joined!
I would listen to David and Rob talk about anything, truthfully. It’s always interesting and informative, and the fun topic episodes are just a blast. Love it
