This is a good story, but the sound effects, the screeching metal sounds are annoying and unnecessary.

Good but irritating

I am three shows into this. The content is very interesting and very well presented. However, it is very disappointing that at the end of an episode it just stops. If you are driving, this leaves you with nothing to listen to, or you can do the dangerous thing of interacting with your cell phone to start the next section. I would give it five stars if only each session linked smoothly to the next as a normal recorded book does or a podcast.

Sad it doesn’t string together

It is a great concept but jumps around too much to truly be coherent

too jumpy

This takes history that you may or may not know about and puts it on a personal level, interviewing people who actually lived it. The only compliant I have is the sound design. On some of the episodes, I REALLY hated the sound effects that were super loud. RIP headphone users.

Takes history and makes it personal

Love the content and narration but the susnet sound effects for “computer digital sounds” were painful on the ears.

Susnet added sound effects are cringeworthy and down right painful to the ears.
