Australiaa month ago - Love this pod
Miles brought me here (obsessed) and now have binged everything else. Love the tone overall and for the record your voices are perfect. Oh and a rough rider (for how I’ve grown up with it) is a horse breaker/sometimes rodeo/bronc rider.
Apple Podcasts5fanny eddie etcAustraliaa month ago - Podcasters are really hard to listen to
Super interesting material so it’s a massive shame it’s so hard to listen to the podcasters. Bizarre takes on podcasts like the one on Tilley Devine (worst woman in Sydney) where someone who exploited women s**ually for money, committed serious assaults on people and sold d*ugs was a *feminist icon* - and that was the mildest take on a topic in the 3 ones I’ve listened to so far. I tried to persevere because of the subject matter but I just can’t. That it is produced by the ABC explains it all.

Love the in depth look behind people’s lives rather than just the traditional things people are known for. Thanks

This is such a great podcast!
For the other reviews saying that it’s copying This Guy Sucked, there are a few differences. The other podcast talks primarily from an american point of view, so it’s more american and european focused, while The Dead Can’t Sue is about strictly australian history.
Also this one has no ads and the way they present it is way different.
So just let them be!
Anyways this is an amazing podcast!
Go on, give it a listen :)
