Customer Reviews
excellent podcast- really interesting
don't be put off by the sound quality review- the sound quality is fine and it is really easy to listen to. really interesting podcast-definately a must for anyone interested in history!!
Sound Quality is Good
I thought that this was very good and did not think the sound quality was poor. Many podcasts interview over the telephone and this one does it well. Content is good and reasonably thought provoking.
Look forward to more...
Sound quality seems fine to me, very interesting interview with Ian Kershaw with the presenter asking some good questions.
