Wondery ruin the medium

“The potential here lies in interesting (in this case serious) subjects, knowledgeable presenters and the magic of the podcast medium, which comes from more time & space for the natural spontaneity, character & quality of presenters to come out. In their eagerness to copy and paste successful formulas & monetize, wondery have destroyed that magic with a clunky, artificial assembly of box ticking talent and space filling segments off a backroom production line. Here the presenters have no time to make this podcast their own, establish a convincing relationship or show any genuine personality. When not being interrupted by too many ads for other shows, they’re constantly jumping in & out of fictionalised scenes scripted by researchers that sound facile & as if aimed at schoolchildren. It adds up to a bitty, frustrating and totally unengaging experience. The producers/directors/company that made this clearly don’t understand what makes podcasts work. A gloriously simple medium ruined by opportunist bandwagon-jumpers.”

“I love the fact that these two are looking back at great names in history and assessing their impact of the world. Factual, relevant and with two experts at the helm. I love it!”

“It’s unfortunate that the presenters didn’t try to leave their own views on Margaret Thatcher and her principles/policies to one side. As a historian by training I found this annoying and switched off.”
