“I was impressed with series 3/6 Russel king and Anthony curcio but the other ones were more vague. This podcast has potential but this is not fully achieved. It needs just more episodes in general and I am entertained. :) Series three is amazing, can’t stop playing this and Alice Levine is by far...”Read full review »

“this was such a wonderful story that surprised me the entire way through. obviously Anthony has amazing charisma and energy. great to hear a story about the evil scourge of prescription opioids that has a far happier ending than most. absolutely worth the listen”

“I am not great at writing reviews but I really enjoyed this podcast so much that I have recommend it to all my friends and I can’t stop talking about it and hope they make a movie some day. Anthony was so great at describing every little detail from how he grew up, about how he struggled with...”Read full review »

“The Pantini series was woefully bloated & long, & didn’t address much of his questioned career but focused on crackpot theories that are easily dismissible & for the most part, debunked. Earlier series are better.”

“This could have been great, and indeed in places it does cover some interesting areas, but it becomes incredibly repetitive just to stretch it out.
Hugh Dennis tried to be funny in places, but makes some cheap political jokes that are unnecessary and pointless. It’s also clear he hasn’t heard...”Read full review »

“Some series have been better than others. The Shergar story is interesting but the narration was ridiculous. The Pantani series was poorly sequenced and so repetitive I thought my podcast app was jumping backwards.
The Trillion Dollar Conman was better.”

“The contents of this seven episode podcast could be condensed into a single half hour without losing any impact. It’s repetitive, poorly edited, we often hear the same opinions and facts again and again within minutes. At the end of all that, we’re left with nothing beyond unsubstantiated rumours...”Read full review »

“A fascinating hour’s worth of conjecture and supposition. Unfortunately this podcast lasts around 5 hours so it is intensely repetitive. Plus, I like Hugh Dennis as a comedian, but assuming he can carry this podcast because he likes cycling just doesn’t work. His tone wanders between irony and...”Read full review »

“As others have said, interesting stories but presented badly, reading a script and constant repeating as if it's for children. Too much unnecessary music as well. Also Vanilla ice to present the horse racing series? Has Alan partridge took over commissioning shows?”Read full review »

“I really wanted to like this podcast but the narrator does his best to make the podcast about himself. No attention to storytelling and editing is just unacceptably bad. How do you screw this up so badly? Would be nice for someone with talent and podcast experience to tell these stories.”

“Pantani: Death of a Pirate. Overly long, repetitive and poorly constructed. What ought to delight the cycling / true crime fan just bores I’m afraid.

“It’s a great story but they seem to spend half of each episode either recapping from the last episode or discussing what they’re going to cover in the next one. It gets a bit frustrating after a bit which is a shame as it’s a really interesting story that’s is told well. Maybe they should have...”Read full review »

“Very disappointing- great subject but this is about twice as long as it needs to be. All rather repetitive and pleased with itself. Does not go into enough detail to fascinate a true cyclist fan but to casual sports fan, it may appeal - if they can hang on …

It is such an interesting topic and a great story, but I can’t listen to the presenter any longer. I don’t know if he is very young himself, or he is aiming this at pre teens and teens, but it does not sound as though he is talking to adults...”Read full review »

I was expecting that, because it was the BBC, it would be very pro-McLaren/anti-Ferrari, pro-Hamilton/anti-Alonso, pro-Ron Dennis/anti-Max Mosley. In fact, it was very balanced...”Read full review »

“I really wanted to like this podcast, but I keep skipping over vanilla’s voice. It’s a stark contrast to the serious content and unsettling.
I don’t have a problem with him hosting it, but he’s hijacked it for himself.”

“A great podcast that gradually brings two separate narratives exploded when they came together. The narration style won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but most F1 fans will endure it knowing it’s there for listeners unfamiliar with F1. Hopefully they do more series on other big seasons in the sport”
