Unexpected Saints

Unexpected Saints is a short story podcast about ordinary people who change the lives of those around them, and sometimes change the world. A kitchen hand in Paris. A girl with a diary in a Roman cell. A man who wrote one word on the footpaths of Sydney half a million times.
Each episode runs eight to ten minutes, drops you straight into one person’s world and gives you the real history: the country, the century, how the world worked, and how people lived. There are no lectures and no lists of lessons. Just one person’s story and what you carry away from that.
There are stories from the last twenty centuries and from every walk of life, in threads of courage, compassion and community. The show is written and recorded in Sydney, with Australian stories alongside those from across the globe.
