Customer Reviews
Cool Mix of Film, Place and History
This is not like any other travel podcast I have tried. It's a like a murder story you walk around with in Beacon Hill. The places were kind of underground shops and historic sites, that give you pieces of this crazy crime from the early days of Boston and its Brahmin class. Along the route they've hidden very interesting clues--an old board game, historic stamps, pop-up books, and other surprising things. It's a pretty amazing story, and very well produced. Highly recommended if you're in Boston or you just want to watch a fascinating travel film.
