These are short interesting podcasts although they don’t seem to have much to do with the National Trust. Also the sound level on some of the podcasts is really low meaning it has to be turned up really loud to listen to it especially when playing in the car.
I found this and the other new podcast on nature interesting but I was left wondering what they had to do with the National Trust as NT had played no part in either set of stories.
Fantastic opening couple of episodes, will be recommending to others. Little nuggets of interesting stories, in short episodes that slot nicely into the day.
Looking forward to the next eps.
Thanks for your very informative interesting podcast.
I look forward to listening as soon as they become available
