Reviews

4.4 out of 5 stars from 58 ratings
  • The content is interesting and well-written, but the cadence and tone of the narrator can be difficult to listen to for long. The sing-songy, patronizing way she speaks makes it impossible to binge.

  • LOVE THIS PODCAST!

    So interesting! If you are a history and interesting fact junkie, you will love these. The narrator is great because her voice is soothing and unassuming. She tells the story without being boring or trying to be cute. It's really a great gem. I hope everyone gives it a try. BTW, the Victorian Filth episode was mind-boggling.
