  • So informative!

    I always enjoy this ram. The range of topics and the incisive interview questions are two important reasons. Sometimes the questioning is a bit brusque, but the topics are thoroughly explored and well explained.,

  • Melvyn mumbles

    Excellent historical podcast, however I find that Melvyn’s mumbling speech makes it difficult to understand what he is saying. His guests’ speech is clear and easy to understand.

  • Great guests. Bad host.

    Very informative with excellent guest contributors. However couldn't get through one whole episode because the host is so arrogant and rude. He interrupts constantly and refuses to distribute anything valuable himself. When one of the guests tried to hear his thoughts on something because he knew the host had relevant experience in the topic, he rudely refused to contribute to the conversation and changed the topic. Unfortunate because the podcast seems rather informative

  • Needs a change of presenter

    I love the interesting subject matter, but does Melvyn Bragg have a speech impediment now? I can barely understand his mumbling. more
