    Was all I could stand of the narration. Up and down the scale he goes, self conscious pauses sprinkled liberally. You’d think he was talking to 5 year olds. Narrators - you do not need to ‘act’. Just read the text authentically.

  • Excellent despite the complaints

    Devon’s voice is in my view a lot less boring than many podcasters ( try the history of crusades lady ) so I like it. The ads are awful if I could get hold of Flo advertising a product you can’t even by in 194 countries which is on a constant loop ..... well it wouldn’t end well. The content though is excellent and I love history podcasts and this product is 90 percent new to me. So keep it up mate just try and dump Flo .....

  • I love the idea of hearing this Icelandic saga. The William Shatneresque way of reading it is off putting and it's hard to get past. I'll try to listen to more. The podcaster may be trying too hard to be dramatic which isn't really working.

  • Clear

    History persists in being of interest. I just haven’t heard some of these sources and the readings are both excellent and understandable.
