“Michael Adams brings the past to life which is a cliche, however but he demonstrates why it’s so important that we continue to learn from our past and continue to teach history in school.”

“It is clear how well-researched every episode is, with details that really bring to life the era. It’s also so refreshing to hear Aussie content. I’m so sick of podcasts with mainly American content!!”

“Such an interesting podcast, one of my favourites, and I could listen to Michael’s voice all day. He’s a great storyteller and it’s so clever the way major and everyday events are woven together.
I’d particularly recommend the three part story of The Birdman of Adelaide Gaol.”

“So well researched. Sad that some people here have taken issue with minor pronunciation topics like some sort of nasty hobby. I’d like to see them do better at a podcast of this degree of detail and effort. Would be good if those people (the person who didn’t like how Cairns was pronounced) would...”Read full review »

“Not sure what these people are complaining about with Michael’s voice. His tone is excellent and suits the stories he’s telling.. The writing and research is ten times better than other crimeand history shows. Plus most of these stories I’ve never heard of , and they’re Australian!”

“Great stories, great research but, as someone else commented, the reading is wooden, each sentence ending in a falling inflection. This gives the impression of the reader being bored or tired. Please put a bit of OOMPH!! into this otherwise excellent and unique offering. Thanks.”

“I’ve just found this podcast and spent the last few days binging so many of these episodes. They hit different. The stories, the people and their lives tend to stay with me in my thoughts long after the podcasts are over. Not sure why these are so profoundly compelling, my guess is that it’s the...”Read full review »
