  • Really enjoyed the Bondy series. I remember watching Australia II win the America's cup, on TV at a yacht club on the Gold Coast...and then the financial scandals afterwards. Well researched and narrated.

  • Good Story, Poor Host

    The story is good and is layered, the host unfortunately makes it very hard to listen to, the little quips and jabs are not necessary and bring the production down to a level, no need to be silly and look for jokes when the story is why people are listening.
