What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The Imperfects manages to hit that very hard to find sweet spot between introspective and IRL laugh out loud funny. There’s such warmth and depth in their conversations that if you close your eyes, you feel like you’re in the room.

Mary Poffenroth, Ph.D. · Sep 2025

Just stumbled across this podcast and I’m hooked. Genuine conversations that are introspective as well as informative. Love the hosts!

BarryOB · May 2024

I am the spouse of an Aussie. We live in the US. I’ve listened to American based podcasts regarding mental health and relationships, but thought that maybe listening to an Australian based one would give me even more insight to my Aussie born and raised hubs. Though the USA and Australia are similar, there still differences. I enjoy listening to this particular podcast because it sometimes enlightens me to the Aussie take on things. Also, the voices of the hosts are very easy to listen to.
