    good
    i love falling asleep listening to the stories but the amount of commercials is a lot.
  • Cassafras7e
    Tv show audio
    The content sounded great - I love history, mystery, and museums! - but I just cannot pay attention to a show that sounds like it's a History Channel tv program. (Just checked the info and it's literally audio from a Discovery show.) Educational content doesn't need to be dramatized like American tv does to it.
  • UserUserUserUser4
    Love it, but what’s up with Don Wildman’s voice?
    It almost sounds like him, but then…it doesn’t. I can’t put my finger in what exactly is different, but it is. Great content, but this is kind of weird.
  • calilylil

  • laurene2011

  • blackberrieGirl
    Great Series and Podcast
    Great series. I’m excited it’s in podcast form. But is it me or is Don Wildman’s voice off? I’ve watched this series for years and this is not what he sounds like. Not sure if it’s slowed down or deepened or what but there’s something off about it.
  • popprincess90
