- Multi faceted fascinating
Fascinating as only a well told historical curiosity can be whilst at the same time deeply evocative like a poem that sticks with you for days.
I’ve just listened to the Bells in Europe episode and feel like I’ve stumbled across an entirely new medium… stereophonic storytelling. A rare richness of audible experience and a beautiful antidote to our screen filled lives. Treat yourself.
