    It’s rare to find a podcast that can take some of the darkest and deadliest moments in human history and breathe new life into the subject whilst not sounding dead pan or sensationalist. Instead our host, who is clearly passionate and knowledgeable, guides us through the story as if he is reading us a great novel. Covering a range of interesting subject matter, if you enjoy history, thrillers and mysteries, this is an excellent podcast for you!
