"(Season: Body Brokers) It's a straightforward take...we didn't need to hear over and over that Megan had big hair...but the podcast was pretty solid. It certainly had us asking questions."
Score: 4.5

"Cover Up: Ministry of Secrets weaves a ripping yarn. Milton is a captivating podcast guide, winningly enthusiastic as he draws his listener into a postwar world...He is excellent at setting the scene of his contemporary investigation too...Production-wise this is first-rate too, with atmospheric soundscaping by Peregrine Andrews. Crabb cuts a rum figure, even in a story so steeped in naval lingo."
Score: 4.9

"...the jolliest listen...This story – not one that would usually grip me, I have to say – quickly expands into a wider subject...Milton’s charming presentation and the excellent soundscaping by Peregrine Andrews are more than enough to keep you interested. Plus, not to reveal too much, the story really does go quite wildly rogue and comes right up to the present day. Once you hear that Crabb’s ex-wife was sure he’d gone to the Soviet Union, you’re hooked."
