This is a fantastic podcast. Alice and Matt do a great job telling these stories. They are well researched, shocking at times, funny at others. Great to listen to and will keep you on the edge of your seat wanting more!!!!! Well done!!!!
A great show, I’ve hear it advertised a lot but only started listening when I subscribed to wondery. Alice and Matt are great - I love the talking pieces (Michelle Mone by Matt - HILIAROUS). I listen to fall asleep and then relisten to hear the full story. Love the older stories from the 40s/50s/60s. Exceptional, and worth every penny.
Best podcast I listen too. I really enjoy Matt and Alice’s witty repartee during episodes.
I’d prefer you just told the story (which is great) and lose the banter. Very off putting
Some interesting stories that I hadn’t heard about before in any detail. The research seems really in depth and the interviews with people who have been part of the story (or know it incredibly well) tie past and present together. The presenters are fun and clearly enjoy deep diving into the topics too.
