Customer Reviews
Gripping, encapsulating and entertaining
OBSESSED!
This podcast is part of my commute to and from work and takes the mind away for a while.
Written and spoken and produced brilliantly!
History, Drama, Humour
I love this podcast, it’s a great mix of well researched content with a touch of drama from Michael Park who does a fabulous job of taking you back in time with some added tongue in cheek humour. The only problem I have is I’ve ram out of episodes!
Small but perfectly formed
These podcasts are well researched, very professionally produced and, more importantly, really enjoyable. There’s lots of history podcasts out there but few manage to make their subject interesting, relevant and scattered with genuine chuckles. If Scotland is your thing, even a bit, suggest you get this in your ears.
