Much enjoyed this podcast and the way the story unfolded. Liked the links between each character, though I found the beginning very repetitive and boring at times.
Apple Podcasts4JayeolaUnited Kingdom3 years ago - Impressive array of connections and viewpoints
This podcast has uncovered researched connections that, upon reflection, one knows intuitively must be there for most of us. Should appeal to people interested in race and equity, historians and genaeologists.

United States4 years ago - Engaging. Through. Goosebumps.
I loved this series and cantered through it in 3 sittings. Yrsa weaves the episodes together beautifully and it is incredibly well researched - I had goosebumps throughout. I’m sorry that some reviewers vehemently didn’t seem to ‘get it’. I find historical evidence & human anecdotes carefully crafted into visceral stories for modern ears to be a wonderful thing indeed.
