The Butterfly King

I know that Bulgaria was one of the Axis Powers during WWII, but didn’t know about King Boris III’s balancing of the situation. Thanks to this brilliantly written and performed podcast I am much better informed. It is incredibly informative and entertaining. Thoroughly recommend.

I know very little about Bulgaria and little of the history behind this story, so it was a fascinating story. The podcast is excellently produced and presented. And there are more twists and turns than a twisty turnny thing.

Excellent series but can’t find final episode 8?

I don’t have much interest in history, and this isn’t a typical ‘true crime’ podcast (my Go To genre)… but oh my god, this show is brilliant. The research is top notch, the delivery is superb (the dry Brit sense of humour shines through), the tone is ‘light’ and easy to listen to, and the involvement of the family members shows the lasting impact this potential crime has had despite the passage of time. Where was this show when I was taking GCSE history? Hoping these ladies continue with new projects because they are naturals at this.
