Unexpectedly excellent!
Not just nice little bits of history trivia, but wonderful short stories, poiniant twists and inspired insights all wrapped up in great production values, professional voice work and subtlely perfect music atmospheres. Bravo! More! Encore!
OUTSTANDING!
I love this podcast. If This American Life came in a Whitman's sampler, it would be these perfect, bite-sized nuggets of awesome. A perfect weekly treat!
Exceptional
