Good concept, poor execution
Far from an original concept but new to BBC radio, this podcast has a lot of potential but is pretty poor really. The stories feign an enigmatic aspect when really they're just a bit dull, and Josie Long is uninteresting as a host.

In all, try a different podcast for your quirky documentary needs, this one isn't much good.Read full review »
