Customer Reviews
well done
so many nonfiction podcasts are well-written with poor narration, or the reverse. this one really hooks you. i listened to 3 Belgica episodes today.
Good but…
I didn't like the way he seems to doubt abt everything. Dont use phrases like “we dont know if he really said that” or “ the fact he didn't mention the sphinx led some to believe he didn't go to Cairo” … just tell the story the way it is. No need to be that cautious.
I’m sure you wouldnt have said that abt Marco Polo’s journey. Is it because he is a muslim moroccan ? Really its annoying.
Very well done
It’s a great pod that provides a lot of insight into a variety of interesting exploration. From Vikings to space travel. Love following along
