by David Farrier
Flightless Bird follows journalist David Farrier as he learns about what makes America special from his unique perspective as a Kiwi accidentally marooned in the Land of the Free. Infinitely curious but never judgmental, each week, David (along with cohost and American Rob) seeks to understand what makes America so unique, strange, and wonderful.

This podcast is so interesting, and I recommend it to everyone I know. David is curious, and it’s so fascinating to hear an unbiased opinion on topics that Americans just don’t think about sometimes. I love that juxtaposition with Rob who is the “expert” but still open and curious as well.
David you are delight - even topics I didn’t think I’d care about have been worth the listen and my mind gets changed on topics due to your magical story telling!
I love the randomness of topics. David is a great researcher and interviewer and has a great casual vibe and his new season is incredible as well. Rob is a great cohost
I really enjoy listening to this podcast! It’s really thoughtful and engaging. I love hearing different perspectives and the research David does for each episode is impressive.
