  • A rewarding listen for Slow Horses fans!

    I first discovered Slow Horses when it premiered on Apple TV+, and I was instantly hooked. That led me to dive into the book series, which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed. I came across the podcast some time ago, but only recently started listening. Wow, I wish I’d jumped in sooner! I’ve gone back to the very beginning and am working my way through each episode. If you're a fan of the books or the show, this podcast is a fantastic companion. It’s been such a rewarding listen!
