- Sounds like reading off a page
Interesting topics but If I wanted a grade 10 presentation I would go back to school. After 8 seasons you would think you would read less scripted. Check out rotten mango the way Stephanie tells the story is highly entertaining and aim for this.
Good on you both for having a go, but you guys are really boring.

Australia2 months ago - Please,just stop…
I used to be a fan and listen every week but Mathew really got on my nerves with the voices. Every time there’s an old time report he puts on some fake voice and launches into a monologue that is way to long and just not funny at all. He thinks he’s Henry zebrowski but he’s just not. I stopped listening for a while and came back but he’s worse. Just stop..
Apple Podcasts2wrongalzAustralia5 months ago - Love the pod, hate the accents
Love the pod. However, I could do without Matthew’s terrible American accents. They are all cringy and not remotely accurate.

United States8 months ago - Non Aussie
As a non Aussie, I found this podcast to listen to with my kids. My daughter is OBSESSED with the Thylacine. (Aka Tazmanian Tiger) and we started listening for that episode. The Emu War is one of our Favorites. Please do a little research on the event if you listen with kids. Some episodes are about mourderers, or sh00tings and might not be family friendly.
Love to Oz from California!
Apple Podcasts5Mr.KenderUnited States8 months ago - Potential but is barely consumable due to hosts.
Unfortunately these guys do not have a voice for radio. The male host constantly interrupts with his own opinions that he portrays as facts rather than ‘opinions’. There are constant mispronunciations of central characters names, geographical locations and simple English. Even references to Television shows for example like Underbelly where the male host says it depicts Lewis Moran was murdered in his family home, where it’s documented fact he was shot at the Brunswick Club Hotel as was shown in... more
