Thank you!
I didn't know anything about Mary Henrietta Kingsley and now I know a lot. This was a fun way to learn about her. Thank you for making the podcast!

I know the story of “Garbo” b/c of the book by Nigel West and the documentary. I was excited to hear this podcast. Unfortunately I was immediately turned off by the presenter’s ignorance and indifferent attitude about how to pronounce the man’s name, and for the Spanish and Catalan languages. I felt that this showed a lazy attitude toward some additional research on the Spanish and Catalan cultures that would have made the presentation more genuine.
It's a Dollop rip off
