Amusing historical drama
Podcast Addict52 years agodamianI am sucker for anything with H.G. Wells time travelling in and this one is very fun. Mayhem, Morlocks and Mary Shelley being iconic.

Historical romp interspersed with clever satirical references. Enjoyed the precise tea specifications from Orwell's Evening Standard Essay.
