I recently stumbled upon this podcast and it has become one of my favorites because of how well and thoroughly researched each episode is. It contains unique anecdotes, for example, the episode of Josephine Baker, where they talked about the guy going down the river Seine in Paris on a kayak - it’s little details like that that make this such a great podcast.
Well written and entertaining
Gavin did an episode of Most Notorious and I am so glad he did. This podcast is amazing. I not only echo the other five star reviews in terms of research, but the writing is OUTSTANDING. It’s clever and witty and I am often just laughing out loud at some of his observations. I don’t get the other criticisms of his narration; it’s wonderful. I am hooked on season 3 and my other true crime podcasts are languishing in my queue.
Came across the author on Most Notorious so far I thought I would give his podcast a try. He was excellent on Most Notorious and I’m loving this podcast so far. Interesting, informative and immediate.
My favorite podcast. The research is exceptional, the writing is vivid, and the show covers a variety of fascinating historical topics. The tone is largely light-hearted, and there's more educational substance in 1 episode than you get in entire seasons of other history podcasts. A true gem.
