The Quilkin

Fascinating stories, unsung hero’s and incredible villains, all told in a beautiful way by the careful, respectful and always interesting Benjo. I can’t wait for the next episode.

If history was this engaging and authentic, I would never have dropped it in school. Benjo is humurous, respectful and passionate about the stories he tells. I really can't recommend The Quilkin podcast enough, even for those with less than a passing interest in history.

These pods are great! I tend to listen to sports, conversational/comedic pods rather than deeper subjects, but these three pods so far have been amazing and for every single one I’ve gone on several deep Wikipedia-dives into the people and events mentioned. Brilliantly edited too, at no point slow or sluggish. Get on it, you’ll very much enjoy it!

Listened to the fascinating tale of Mathias Rust on the school run this evening, and wow! An amazing story that I had never heard told in a charming and thoroughly entertaining way. We all loved it, but particularly my 10 yo son who I’m now concerned has grand plans for adventure of his own! I really hope the pod continues, so intend to spread the word! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
