Great Series!

I’m telling my age but I read the books back when they were published and watched the original mini-series. I enjoyed both very much at the time. This new series takes the story to a whole new level. I am going to go back and re-read the books which have been sitting in my bookcase for all these years. I also very much enjoyed the podcast, especially the interviews with the actors and details of the historical background. Looking forward to future seasons!

I loved the book, I can not believe you have made this so real. Hiro is fantastic. Thank you for such a wonderful story you are telling. I wait each week for the next episode. Thank you
How is it possible…

For any intelligent, caring person to give this podcast less than 5 stars??? I’d give it 10 if I could. It really complements and completes the series for the non Japanese viewer. I’m going to check with some Japanese friends about their reactions to both.
