 Write a Review of Life Matters Podcast
 
J.E., February 17, 2006
Reviewer: J.E.
from Chicago, Illinois
The Life Matters Podcast is produced by ABC News in Australia. Consequently, it sounds a lot like a Sunday morning TV news talk show or an AM radio show. The episode that I listened to even had a panel of three experts who were all on different continents.
Because it is professionally produced, this podcast sounded great. But it was a bit dry and boring for my taste. I think it is aimed at an older audience, and I don't fit that demographic just yet. The topics for past shows sound like interesting, current issues, but I'm afraid the news-like presentation is rather off-putting for me. I don't think I'll tune in again.
