  • Surafend Massacre

    This was such an informative podcast, but why, ABC, the loud, repetitive, intrusive music? It’s great to have theme but it’s not needed over the presenter or any guests/ historical recount.

    Worse, the music in these episodes sounds like it was written by a child who discovered a little riff and couldn’t move on.

    And it’s like the ABC is completely oblivious to how much of an intrusion bad music in a program is.

    Intrusive, and massively annoying, so much so that what would have been a 5-sta... more

  • Great accounts, vapid ‘experts’

    Odd choice to have Jan Fran host, but the early episodes stitch together some incredible first-person accounts and interviews with the central players.

    The ‘historian’ in Episode 7 is practically unlistenable with the credibility and gravitas of a student politician. Disappointing end to an otherwise interesting series.

  • Errrrrr……

    I’m not sure who thought it’d be a good idea to have Jan Fran analyse the history of the 1998 Waterfront dispute. But, as a child of a worker affected by the then governments actions, I can honestly say that Jan Fran’s has the same amount of expertise on the subject as I do in being Mother Superior (I’m not Catholic). It’s very unfortunate the ABC decided to give an in house talent the task of telling this story, rather an experienced journalist who might’ve taken the time to talk to the people ... more
