I have really enjoyed uncovering roots. It is really well put together and takes you on journeys around the world to places that you would unlikely visit and to meet people you would unlikely find.
I usually binge the episodes in one day… like today. 👏

Informative yet heartbreaking story about Aurora Mardiganian! I was aware of the Armenian Genocide but this podcast provided an informative deep dive into the atrocities and the horrible treatment of Aurora by those who wanted to profit off her story. Great job!!

I’m half Armenian and live in Berkshire since moving from Cheshire. It was heartwarming to witness the power of love that transcends time in order to share this woman’s narrative. My family like many Armenians have immersive inspiring memories to tell the world. I pray we can be a part of Maxim’s journey. A pleasure to meet you today Max 🥰
