  • What’s with the new background music?

    I’m a long time listener, love Don and the fascinating range of objects and associated stories but the new background music is so distracting. It’s too loud, too sensationalised and very off putting!

  • May 3 Episode. 1814 Dolley Madison.

    USA was ‘attacked’ by the British in 1814 because Madison invaded Canada in 1812. Turning the war as being the victim not of the consequences.

    Otherwise love the show for entertainment value.
