Untold stories of people that are factual and unique

Outstanding and well produced stories of famous people without the American slant. The new series about famous women is outstanding. The author presents a very interesting point of view from subjects thoughts. European and American history has been altered by government’s bias. As a reader you are walking back in history with female subjects who made the world better. Thank you

Very Good

Was super excited to hear Charles Dance narrating, just love his voice, acting and now podcast presenter. The programme is something different too, dramatization of key figures in history, sports & culture. My favourite episode was Madam Mao.
