Amazing

Interesting and fascinating. Highly recommended if you are interested in historical events.
Edit: it’s brilliant. I’m sad we are arrived to the end of the first season, but grateful for the bonus episodes ahead of us and really looking forward to listen to them, and to the 2 season! Thank you for the amazing journey

Brilliant

Unobscured is absolutely fantastic, just as good as Lore! I didn't think I would find it so addicting, since I never found the story of the Salem Witch Trials so fascinating, but Aaron's narration is so captivating, five episodes have been published, and I have listened to all of them in one day!
