  • Too many Um’s

    I just cannot listen to all the Um’s. If you can’t speak coherently and clearly ad hoc, it might be better to script it. Fascinating subject and want to love it, but simply cannot concentrate on the narration. The sound is very poor on some episodes.

  • Painful!

    “Unity Mitford went to the English Garden in Berlin and shot herself” and hosts laugh! I didn’t realise that was a funny subject. Also the English Garden was in Munich and not Berlin so I think better research is needed before airing.
