Being back into the L&D space I need to get up to speed quickly. This podcast helps me do that. I started by picking and choosing episodes that I was particularly interested in but then I realised “it’s all good”! So I listen to each one now. Really concise, practical and useable.
- Bill Wallace

The hosts, Michelle Ockers and Karen Moloney are, obviously, skilled and knowledgable L&D practitioners in their own right, so the conversations hit the right notes and I particularly like the regular final question all guests are asked.

Please don't stop
I asked my L&D WOL Circle, "If they could ever listen to one podcast to maintain and nurture you L&D expertise what would you choose?" All 5 picked Learning Uncut. One said, "I love that the conversations are a mixture of the why and how. I have to persuade myself really hard to listen to anything else and sometimes do so to add variety but tend to go back to Learning Uncut." Please don't stop"
- Miriam Spiedel
I love your faciliation style
"I love your faciliation style in these podcasts. I am beginning to recognise and learn from the way you seek clarification on behalf of your listeners and anticipate the questions they would pose. I am in awe of your distinctive knack for summarising the key points particularly from the more complex or discursive exposition. I have found myself trying to emulate this. Thanks too for making cleaning much less of a chore."
- Helen

It’s a super podcast
"I’ve also pretty much listened to all the pre Disruption podcasts too at this stage - on my Covid breakout walks! I’ve found a nugget or three in many of them. It’s a super podcast - great facilitation and production and the approach to the supporting materials is an excellen add-on."

What Our Guests are Saying
Rob Wilkins
Head of Information Services at Catholic Education Diocese
"The sharing of practice and story provides for just as much learning about our own profession as it does when contributing and consuming."
Founder, CEO, Board Member and Management Consultant
"It's great to be able to share ideas and some 'war' stories with this wonderful community. Why should we be stuck in the same way of doing things, when we can certainly be innovative and think beyond what we usually develop and deliver."
"To say I’m happy with the production and Michelle’s interview style is an understatement – thank you so much for the opportunity to have a great conversation!"
Kate Fraser
Learning Professional and Voice Artist
"Nice production! Well done! This was fun, thanks for inviting me to be on the podcast."
"The experience of being a guest on Learning Uncut was pleasurable, enlightening and formative. I would recommend it to any L&D professional looking to both contribute and receive insights into our work."
