Brilliant stories, ridiculous accents
I love this show for the fresh insights and fascinating connections it draws, for example: Britain’s failure to adopt the tank and Xerox’s inability to capitalize on the computer mouse and graphical user interface. That said, there is one aspect of this show that annoys me. Historical accounts and direct quotes are read by actors using bizarrely bad caricatured accents from the country of origin. It’s incredibly distracting and potentially quite offensive. If not for this head-scratching aspect of the production I would give this show 5 stars.

I could listen to one of these true tales every day!! Thanks, Pushkin, for bringing this cast to us.

Sort of interesting but the Narration is too slow, the goofy re-enactments are cringe-worthy and the overall taking of oneself so seriously is cast in the mould of one M. Gladwell, Tiresome scribe.
