Miranda Sawyer • The Guardian • Mar 22, 2025
"...fine but surprisingly academic. Not until episode two...does the story take off. Both Olusoga and Churchwell are good: chatty and fluent, with information packed into every sentence. But as well as more grabby human stories there’s a need for some decent production: some energy and contrast; some audio drop-ins (archive sound? A short musical sting?). The overall dynamic is… steady. It makes the listening experience airless, like an afternoon lecture in a hot room. Your mind wanders."
