“I'm an info junkie and I love story telling so this podcast is fun for me. I am not sure how they come to the conclusions they do for some of the objects, especially the 5000 year old ones, but that's anthropology: find an object from prehistory, figure out what it is and make up a story to give it more depth and mystique. This podcast is an in depth tour through the museum directors favorite items and his enthusiasm is a clear indication that he loves his job. I think the study of ancient history is very important to humanity as we can learn much from our past mistakes and triumphs. This program makes for a very good listen as they are around 20 minutes long and can pique your interest enough to want to learn more on your own. I don't find myself looking for the objects on the website, however. it would be nice if the picture of the object came with the podcast, but hey, it's free and I can always go to their website to see them and I think that is what they want us to do.”Read full review »

“Great podcast, a lot of good content packed into one little segment. If you want to know what the items look like, search for them on google images or go to the bbc4 website before you listen!”

“A wonderful accompaniment to an uphill walk to uni! I agree that a picture would be nice too, but that doesn't detract from this exceptional piece from R4!”Read full review »
