“Such a good story but they repeat the same ideas over and over. It feels like they try too hard to make this story more mysterious than it is. It's a good story but I did not like how it was told. Each episode could have been so much shorter.”Read full review »

“Such a strange story that I can’t believe I never knew! The storytelling was so wonderfully smart and fun! The last “scene” gave me such a lovely image of the King and his children, I shall never forget it!”

“I’ve never heard this story — I was completely taken in by this very well done podcast and the crazy “truth is stranger than fiction” aspects of it. Thank you!”

“Full disclosure: I originally put this on thinking it would be good background noise during work. But instead I was sucked into this absolutely fascinating piece of history I didn’t know anything about. The reporting is wonderful, and the storytelling is first-rate.”

“Terrific effort - so obscure & so resonant at the same time. They used to kill each other off all the time back then & how could we have forgotten all this?! And biscuits? C'mon! I haven't the words to thank you for all the mesmerizing time I've spent with the royals of...”Read full review »

“I have seen some people say that parts of the podcast feel like a wild goose chase. THATS THE POINT. It is a mystery that has not been addressed by many people! Of course there will be speculation or dead ends. That’s why it is a real mystery! If you want something contrived, go watch your...”Read full review »

“The host is fun with added humor throughout but there is a lot of unnecessary speculation. “It’s the Germans” followed by a lot of talk why it’s the Germans to only be concluded with an interview with the family who says here are all the reasons it isn’t the Germans.

The many twists and turns can be a bit exhausting, when it seems that much of the “mystery” is not so mysterious. Worth...”Read full review »
