United Kingdom7 months ago - Really interesting concept
Really interesting podcast, I love a historical scandal so I love this concept and I haven’t heard of any of the stories covered so far before.
I think they could do with including some trigger warnings at the start of episodes as they cover some heavy topics so be sure to read episode descriptions if you have topics that you are sensitive to.
Overall really interesting though.

Whilst the subject matter is very interesting I feel like it’s aimed towards children.
In the way that the presenters talk to each other. Other than that it’s very entertaining.
