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.

I love listening to David and Rob! Highlight of my week.
Still a loyal listener.
I do wish Rob could talk without David cutting him off. You both have a great input but it’s hard to listen sometimes when David over talks on top of Rob. (Reality TV episode)
