  • Great Serial

    Whilst a well written story the background scenery sound tends to drown out the dialogue.

  • Nothing like this anywhere

    This is by far the best thing in podcasts. I’ve even heard other audio dramas, and this is the best, not just in wrestling. Re-listen to past seasons if you really want to catch the storytelling depth you get with KOTR.
