So important
An important podcast that tells is something about the political games that ends with disaster. I want more stories like this.

The production is a fountain of information, which tells a brave story, sadly unknown to most of society today.
It is greatly appreciated and has been most enjoyable.
My hat off to all involved!
Lærerik og spennende
Anbefaler denne podcasten både til de som liker true crime og til de som har interesse for internasjonal politikk. Narratøren har en behagelig og engasjerende stemme, podcasten er godt bygd opp så det er lett å følge med selv om mange personer blir omtalt.
