Then there are these!

I have always had an eye rolling moment when people suggest podcasts, followed by a long sigh....Then The Rabbit Hole Detectives popped up in one of my social media accounts. Hearing something about the subjects, the research that is required I gave them a try.

Absolutely fantastic, intriguing, entertaining and always interesting,, at times the discoveries are quite alarming.
Please keep this going for a long long time. Thank you all for making my days happy.

Fantastic series!

Such a delight to listen to three interesting and informed people talking about stuff. Really great conversation and a joy to hear the presenters following the rabbit hole in the direction their interest takes them. This is the kind of thing that Radio 4 used to be good at. Please keep making these podcasts! Some ideas for future topics: Condoms, slippers, jam, scones, scissors.

A glorious way to spend some time

I heard Earl Spencer on another podcast talking about history, and the host mentioned this new podcast he was involved in. It sounded worth investigating and I am so glad I did.

Each episode is a wonderful way to while away the best part of an hour. Three people just chatting about a topic that takes them down a rabbit hole, as we have all done when looking something up.

Love the format, love the interest that is shown in some fairly mundane items, love the tangents this leads them off on, and adore how competitive they all are about not being competitive.

Loved it.
