Really enjoyed this series - every single episode. The content and manner of presentation were very engaging. I truly felt transported to all those remote, fascinating places. Pity this podcast has been discontinued.

This is a a very good podcast about topics that I’didn’t think would interest me so much. I’ve learned a lot of things and I would recommend it to anyone. An other good point is that the podcast is linguistically speaking pretty accessible, even to non english speakers, which is honestly hard to...Read full review »

I absolutely love Sam Denby on Showmakers, Wendover, and HAI, and this podcast and its information is not any less accurate and intriguing then his other channels/Podcasts. I hope a season 4 comes!

Dima-DTM via Apple Podcasts · Russia · 07/26/20
I love learning about foreign, forgotten little settlements of humanity all over the world. Each episode is well-researched, written, and narrated. When they start going to these places starting in season 2 is when this series really becomes great.
TripleEye via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/10/20
Love the show - the writing and storytelling are very thoughtful and the show concept is unique. The only thing driving me crazy are the irregular audio levels. Sam’s narration has really good audio quality, but the inflection that he uses in his presentation causes parts of words, particularly...Read full review »

Discovered by chance, I have much enjoyed every episode so far. The start featuring Pitcairn was absolutely fantastic. The authors have a great way of storytelling, it’s entertaining yet with much depth, and they leave it to the listener to make up his own mind. I hope they continue like...Read full review »

Really like this podcast overall but the way he speaks is a bit dull and is difficult to pay attention to.

I love his YouTube channel, and I will play over old episodes to fall asleep at night, so when I found out this podcast was a thing of course I had to check it out. It helps me sleep so well as well as interesting research and information. I’d highly recommend!

Great quality, the amount of effort you go through to make these is actually kinda crazy, and I’m very grateful to you and your team for doing this. Highly recommend to anyone. If you want a taste but don’t have time to sit around, try the one single podcast at the bottom of those list
