Customer Reviews
Eager to find out moor (pun intended!)
Fascinating and funny! Just listened to episode 1 and will soon be returning to listen to the next instalment. However, before i do that, i'm going to re-wind to the middle of episode 1 and listen carefully to the wherabouts of Sir Walter Raleigh's treasure!
Worth the wait
It was worth the wait for episode eight! Entertaining, informative and a delightful display of repartee between father and son. Not to mention at times laugh out load funny. Chris H Wells.
Interesting, fascinating and enjoyable
There's a high degree of enthusiasm, love and care gone into this podcast. The two hosts as father and son are an excellent double act - David with his clear, concise, calming enthusiasm for the subject, Simon with his irreverent (but not intrusive) quips and observations. Really engaging but relaxing, and interesting and entertaining stuff.
