Fourth time through season 1!

Lipcjdjffn7/6/2026

2026 update: please come back and give us a season 5! I am on my fourth play-through of season 1, I can’t get enough of it. I love the tiny details. I love that he helps us see the context which the SWTs fell into. I am reading many books on the subject and return to this podcast in between each one. Season 2 wasn’t my jam but I listened to it once through. I am excited for this new season on Jack the Ripper! I don’t mind his voice at all. I think there’s a lot of good content here but if his voice is a problem then I dunno what to tell you. Downvoting someone because of their voice seems unnecessary.

Well done!

Thoroughly researched, beautifully written and delivered.

Cadence?

MBMCG20178/4/2025

Are we sure his voice isn’t first gen AI? It’s a grating cadence that I had to give up on. Plus, a lot of adding and romanizing of details that are simply nonsense.

Fascinating and well researched!

I have been reading about the Romanov family, Tsar Nicholas, the Tsarina and their children for years. And in fact, have read all of Helen Rappaport’s books on the subjects, and this podcast blew my mind!! There were details I had not heard before and the research was so good! I loved this Series….so well done!
