I love this podcast and prefer it to ‘The Rest Is History’. The narration is so atmospheric and really makes the subject come alive. Such a diverse range of topics. Thank you Noiser
I stumbled across Noiser when I found The Real Vikings looking for an alternative to my usual sport based pods and am so glad I did.
I love history and the detail and angles they look at various historical events in is exceptional. I’ve now binge listened to Titanic and D-Day, which were both excellent and am looking forward to the rest of Vikings and all the other content now I’ve subscribed.
I love this podcast but that indeed add drives me crazy because it’s basically the same length as the actual podcast episode however it is a great podcast and well narrated
I am disappointed by the left leaning bias of political histories.
