  • Beautiful

    I find the music and narration of this podcast so beautiful that I want to just sit and listen. I don’t have the words to describe the stunning telling of history. It’s interesting and beautiful. Sorry for gushing, but I’ve not heard anything like this, and I have listened to podcasts since 2010.
