Customer Reviews
Loved this! Very cleverly woven together
Very cleverly woven threads keeps you thinking you solved the mystery but next episode proves you wrong again and again. Let’s have more clever and thorough investigations like this.
Beautiful work
Captivating with every episode and tangible to any listener. Well done on giving an excellent report.
The Trojan Horse Affair - gripping!
An unforgettable story told after years of dogged, painstaking research. The Trojan Horse Affair asks questions that too many have found inconvenient to ask and proves that what we thought we knew was not at all the whole truth…
Well done Hamza and Brian
