- Rubbish now.
Was good but narrators can barely speak English, heavy accents, poor presentation bad pronouncing dumb stories too many colonialisms. Just annoying now.

This people, their traditions, cultures, & lives matter. Thank you for sharing their stories & helping to humanize people experiencing the worst horrors imaginable.

I just fancy something a little bit more dow... more

Canadaa year ago - Brilliant podcast

Over time, I’ve come to realise that the stories that aren’t to my taste are actually the best ones - they help me see the world through different eyes, encourage me to develop empathy for people that aren’t like me, and generally broaden my horizons.
I leapt aboard the Flying Castle in desperation one day - the story tank in my E... more
