Amazing show

Incredible show. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Captivating and essential

This entire series is a fascinating and essential account of everything you’re not told, by ‘official’ sources, about the conflicts that have shaped the latter half of the last century. Impeccably sourced and skilfully narrated, you will, like me, be eagerly anticipating the series’s next instalment.

Very informative

Amazing podcast series that really sheds light on things that were happening and still are that many of us are not aware of. Please do a series on Afghanistan
