  • Love the book hate the uploader

    The episodes were organized so everytime your finished with a chapter it auto plays the previous chapter. So you have to go into the episode list to manually pick the next chapter. No it’s not the order I have set in the settings. No matter what you set it at the same annoying thing happens time after time. C’mon people

  • Great classic

    Understanding the limitations of podcasts, it would be great if there was an accompanying “translator” for the seamen speak and a map or illustration of the voyage and trek. Great job all around.

  • Boring

    I find the story of Shackleton so interesting.

    After visiting an Amazing Shackleton exhibition last year I was excited to download this....but unfortunately it was extremely dull and I agree with the last review.
