About this listen

Award-winning journalist Gary Nunn investigates psychics, mediums and astrologers to understand their uncanny, under-investigated and unregulated power.

Gary’s sister Taren consults mediums to process grief after a death in their family. Gary, concerned she’s being exploited, remains sceptical. When he reports on a clairvoyant’s link to a huge stockbroking firm collapse, personal questions become professional. Why do so many surprising people believe?

So begins a two-year investigation into the colourful world of psychic-mediums and sceptic activists. Gary tries out some psychics himself, sometimes with hilarious results. He hears about their secret influence over world leaders, CEOs, news editors and the criminal justice system. Believe in them or not, psychics can impact who will date you, befriend you and even who’ll hire you.

The Psychic Tests is a moving examination of trust, faith and connection. Strap yourself in - things are about to get weird.

Wondrous things may happen

A very entertaining listen. Filled with stories, the author clearly really enjoys meeting people and hearing their stories. Good narrator. A non judgemental examination of a mysterious world. Sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, and ultimately, compassionate.

Well researched and written. Narrator issues

I really shouldn't be writing a review as I did not finish the book. I was enjoying it enough, though, to decide to read it rather than listen.
Adam Bromley is a very talented narrator but I simply could not bear listening to all his accents. They were bearably well done, but he needs to be told that the book is not about showcasing this ability, but to tell the story. There are many quotes from many people and it is simply is not necessary to assume their supposed Australian/French/American or whatever accent. It's non-fiction. These people could well not have that kind of accent at all and even if they do, it's the substance of what they're saying that matters.
Very distracting, self-centred and unnecessary.
