“What’s happened to The Forum? We used to hear expert discussion and now it’s at least half a call-in show with listeners. What a disappointment, but the archive is still available, thankfully.”

“The recent forum on Telling the time was quite interesting but did not cover the Chinese day, week, month, years.
A huge oversight when the forum is usually careful to be not too westernised.”

“Mobile phones, deep fakes and pets isn’t exactly why I listen to this pod. Those topics seem better suited to other programmes. I’m missing famous historical figures, writers, politicians etc.”

“What I love about this show, is how I travel around the globe and visit mutiple eras in human history without moving from my home. I have learned so much I didn’t even know I wanted to know about. You simple MUST listen to the podcats about Cacao.”

Projection is not expertise, This just as creepy and off-putting as the mormons...”Read full review »
