Apple Podcasts5#1ShelbyAustraliaa month ago - Excellent!
I have enjoyed the times I’ve heard Michael Adams on Australian True Crime and decided to start his podcast from the beginning. It has not disappointed. So well done. Not too much fluff while being jam packed with fascinating history. Though I have never been to Australia, I’ve always loved her people. Getting a chance to hear its history by such an amazing storyteller is a treat. Highly recommended!
