Soothing voice, no AI, pays respects to indigenous peoples, elders, and aunties.

Good content

I like the content but can’t get past the narrater’s voice influx and the end of every sentence.

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!

Best history podcast

I’m not from Australia nor have I been there, but this podcast is so well researched and written it has made me want to visit so I can experience locations mentioned. Michael Adams helps you understand the evolution on a nation (and in some ways other nations as well because of parallel historical changes in other countries of course) in a way that keeps you on the edge of your seat, The series on the Treasury gardens murder was heartbreaking and haunting. Thanks from a native New Yorker!
