Aussies Clap Back At Study Claiming We're Hard To Be Friends With

from Ricki‑Lee & Tim · host Nova Podcasts

A university study reckons expats struggle to make real friendships with Australians, so Ricki and Tim put it to the test by opening the phones to listeners from all over the world. What followed was a flood of callers from Ireland, India, Nepal and the UK who completely shut the theory down, sharing stories of pub mates, lifelong friendships and even lending luxury cars to complete strangers. Tim wondered if Aussies can be a bit reserved, while Ricki argued we're some of the friendliest people going around. In the end, the callers delivered a pretty clear verdict: Australians are doing just fine.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
