I’ve learned so much and can’t wait for the hexed one. I’ve learned so much. So I had to comment. All I have to say is keep up the good work.

Found this podcast in a search for anything Scotland and am enjoying it so much, and learning lots, too. I appreciate the researched and fact-based stories, told in a way they created the visuals. Keep ‘em coming!

I stumbled upon your podcast through Audible but moved over to Apple to continue it. I absolutely love everything about it - the stories, the backstories, the music is amazing! Thank you for sharing with this uninformed American who discovered she is of English/Scottish/Irish/Welsh and Danish...Read full review »

I really appreciate the insights and back story in every episode. I was s student in Scotland in the late 70s/Early 80s and the podcast adds tremendous depth to stories I think I already know. Great job! Keep it up!

OBSESSED! This podcast is part of my commute to and from work and takes the mind away for a while. Written and spoken and produced brilliantly!

Love this pod, one of my favs. Only disappointment is the length of time between releases! Would also be pleased if they were longer Thanks Michael Park

A great and interesting podcast but what sets it apart is the creativity put into the production. Such a great feeling of story telling and added music really pulls you in. 10/10 podcast!

A great podcast, great variety of stories. Some known some unknown. Very professional and quality. Would recommend to anyone interested in history or Scotland.

I love the narrative nature and storytelling aspect of this podcast! Honestly, I’d listen to Michael reading the phone book, his rich timbre and accent are impeccable. However, listening to him telling these fascinating stories is a true treat.

I love this podcast, it’s a great mix of well researched content with a touch of drama from Michael Park who does a fabulous job of taking you back in time with some added tongue in cheek humour. The only problem I have is I’ve ram out of episodes!
brizo247 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/09/22
Love all the stories. Not Scottish, been there a few times and live the place and people! And now I can love the stories!
S800C via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/11/22
These podcasts are well researched, very professionally produced and, more importantly, really enjoyable. There’s lots of history podcasts out there but few manage to make their subject interesting, relevant and scattered with genuine chuckles. If Scotland is your thing, even a bit, suggest you...Read full review »

My new favorite podcast I could listen to Michael Park all day. Interesting topics and excellent story telling. Love from an Urquhart trapped in California.

Found this podcast on a bus journey from Edinburgh to Inverness on holiday on youtube and I have become instantly obsessed! So well delivered and immersive, very informative and interesting! Love, love, love. Will be recommending it to any history, or general, nerds.

The stories are always well chosen and varied and ones we’d never know about otherwise. Great delivery of well thought out scripts. Very effective music. Never disappointing. Thanks

I’m a couple of year late to the party but what a show this is. Binge listened to all episodes in a coupe of days. 10/10 guys. Really informative, interesting and fun. Recommended to lots of my friend so hopefully they listen and like it as much as I have. Well done. Looking forward to more.

This was such a great episode! Thanks for telling the story of the Edinburg 7.
Celtic Judy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/17/21
I love this podcast. History lessons told as stories through those that lived it and died it. The music and the production and narration really bring the subjects to life. Every short story has elements of humour and tragedy. It’s just wonderful. Go listen.
lovekadams via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/10/20
Stumbled upon these only recently and cannot believe no one told me. They are amazing podcasts. So much going on I hardly know where to start. Ok production wise these are fantastic.

Interesting little snippets of Scottish history. The stories are really brought to life and are really easy to follow unlike some dry retellings, and the production quality is super. Love it guys!

Plugging the gaps of knowledge I have about Scottish history nicely

Michael is a great narrator of dark Scottish history!
CRussell102 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/12/20
Keep the episodes coming. Love how this podcast takes you back in time
Ralanas84 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/29/20
Great writing, superb pacing, tightly scripted, beautifully scored, insanely immersive. Be amazed, shocked, enthralled, disgusted, terrified and more, all in the time it takes to make a club sandwich.

My great-grandma and aunties moved from Cambuslang to the USA in 1920. This is really helping me understand their lives better. The flu killed my grandma’s oldest brother and her grandfather in their flat in Dalmarnock in 1904. Life was hard. Wish my grandma was still alive to listen to this!!
HLWoodlet via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/18/20
Thanks for this well researched and diverting podcast. I found it by chance, wanting to learn more about the country I will be moving to shortly. The creator’s personality shines through the historical narrative, makes it very charming overall. Well worth a listen.
Grrracefully via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 03/28/20
Incredibly well made and put together. If you have an interest in history and/or just like a good story, this will provide it all.

This podcast is both wonderfully entertaining and educational at the same time. I’m so hooked! Please keep them coming!
ilovescotland via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/26/19
I find this Podcast to be well crafted and loaded with interesting stories of Scotland’s colorful and more often than not, tragic history. With it’s cleverly placed humor and narration in a lovely Scottish accent, what else do you need?
who knew?08 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/06/19
New listener. I’m hooked. Really enjoying it during my commute to and from work.

Love the stories. Love the music. They really know how to set a mood - it’s a bit consuming.
eAimili via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/19
Great storytelling, even better accents.
elizabethkelly15 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/17/19
Absolutely fantastic storytelling! This podcast is one of the best ways to learn about the many fascinating aspects of Scottish history. Very immersive and poetic, it made me feel like I was actually there, travelling through time, seeing the events unfolding before my own eyes.
Kira Hurst via Apple Podcasts · Japan · 09/14/19
Great story telling, lovely voice. A good way to learn about Scottish history, beautifully packaged into podcast episodes.
Janikakakaka via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/02/19
We have just decided to take our next big vacation to Scotland in late April 2020 so I am consuming all the info I can! This podcast if full of info and facts but still highly entertaining and fun to listen to.
CupcakeKatie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/28/19
Such a fantastic find! Excellent for those interested in both Scottish history and the great Scots story-telling tradition! Definitely keep these coming.
