    The woman who narrates and presumably produces these podcasts, does an excellent job at presenting factual historical narratives in a charming, courteous, and sometimes humorous manner.

    Great podcast for the novice on Australian History
    What a great find. Thoroughly enjoying working my way through the episodes and learning about Australian history. Well done.

    Enjoyable and informative
    I found this podcast at the recommendation of the he host the Victorian History Podcast and have enjoyed the first 10 installments very much. I’ve found the style of presentation / storytelling relaxing with lots of information wrapped into a story that includes the context giving a great mental picture of life at the time. I’m looking forward to catching up on all the installments in the library.

    Super Informative
    While watching a television program set in Australia I realized my typical American education taught my very little about Australian history. This podcast does a great job of filling in some of those gaps in a way that is both super informative and very entertaining. I’m really enjoying it!

    First Rate Podcast
    Wonderfully researched and with an extraordinary depth of detail. A considered and balanced treatment of a very contentious part of Australian history. Presented in the typical laconic Australian idiom. An outstanding resource for anyone interested in Australia’s bushrangers.
