This is a great podcast and I've enjoyed most of them as inciteful and/or funny. Dissapointed with the Bible podcast which I think most Bible believing Christians (and probably Jews) would have found difficult. The 2 presenters alongside Tony, both appeared to be atheists, even if their titles didn't say this. No problem with having an atheist viewpoint but it would have been better to have a theologian historian input as well.
Great podcast!
This is a fabulous podcast from an eternally enthusiastic, positive man who brings in guests with deep knowledge ad understanding. Please PLEASE cover Brunanburgh. It’s a fascinating part of our history that seems not to be much known about any more.
Hit and miss. Whose bright idea was it to record the entire Sutton Hoo episode inside an incredibly noisy workshop?
Sutton Hoo has been the topic of my first listen to TR’s Cunning Cast. The podcast was entertaining and informative combining the incisive and sequential questioning by Tony, with his traditionally disarming, enthusiastic and relaxed approach, with the on-site experience and research presented by archaeologist Prof Martin Carver and Archaeology and Entertainment Manager National Trust Laura Howarth. The podcast moves swiftly along providing a perfect balance of information and depth framed by ar... more
