Love the idea! I´ve always been fascinated by this war as its really embarrassing for Australia to be honest, and I think you couldve slowed down a bit as it feels a little bit rushed. Overall a fun listen and imformative.

I’ve seen so many jokes about this online, but never an actual explanation of what happened. Well explained but a little fast. I need to know what other country has a lost a war against birds.

I found this fun to listen to even though I already knew a little about the Emu war. I think you could’ve added a few more sounds to the podcast especially in the gunfire sections. Would recommend!

this is a great idea for an episode! but i think you could add in more lighthearted commentary since it is an entertaining topic

Enjoyed hearing about Emus owning aussies. Felt a tad rushed but still enjoyable.
