ungewöhnlich und spannend

Ich habe den Podcast sehr genossen. Am Anfang fand ich die Sprecher schwierig zu verstehen, hab mich aber schnell daran gewöhnt.

Best podcast

In my opinion the best podcast ever made. Incredible craftsmanship. An engrossing storyline that seems straight out of a Faulkner novel. It‘s at times hard to believe that this is not a fictional story.

Aimless, in part poor audio quality

Love the voice and style of Brian Reed (he kind of sounds like Anthony Porowski from Queer Eye), listened to „The Trojan Horse Affair“, but I did not understand this podcast. It seems like the reporter just aimlessly follows a weird guy around. The cryptic „descriptions“ of the episodes that tell listeners as much as nothing embody the lack of a stringent storytelling and goal. Another disappointment from the overrated House of Serial.
