Great podcast! Love hearing about the city I’ve lived my whole life in.
I’ve never given most of the places in the city much consideration I’ve just taken them for granted. This podcast is SO interesting.
Please keep making eps. Make them longer, they’re so interesting! 5 stars!!
Exactly what I needed
It’s short but packed full of interesting information. In episode one I felt like I was standing in those tunnels. Looking forward to learning more about Sydney!
Sounds amazing!!
