Modeled on the "HIstory of the world in 100 objects" format, it provided a riveting, highly informative, balanced and thoughful listen. As someone who knows history podcasts, and a bit about German...”Read full review »

“This series from Radio 4, which is to coincide with an exhibition about Germany at the British Museum, gives a very good insight into German culture, thought and society.

“Absolutely captivating history from Neil McG. Whatever he presents, he has me riveted - this follows in that tradition.
Brings the obscure and the infamous to life with equal vigour.
This is how podcasting should be done.”

“Very much enjoyed these first three episodes, and (judging from these) this is possibly the first truly empathetic account I heard of Germany’s past.
Having grown up in Germany, it saddened me to find how many people from abroad appear to view Germans as cold, mindless ‘machines’. This podcast is...”Read full review »
