Customer Reviews

Neatly Done

by Seb Naylor

These are great little podcasts, they include a well written and well presented 10 minute overview of the talking point. Dan Snow is defintitely the best history presenter on offer at the moment. Good sound and picture quality. 1 more star if English Heritage can produce many more podcasts of the same quality as the ones below.
