Barbican Station - A Slow Horses Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I highly recommend this podcast for anyone who enjoys the spy and espionage genres. Mick Herron’s work is a great contemporary portal to themes and archetypes with a twist of humor, wit and fun.

But what sets this podcast apart is not only the fantastic source material but the passion, knowledge and entertaining qualities that Jeff brings to it. In an amenable and casual style he effectively engages the audience with insightful and fun conversations with guests that provide further insights and interpretations to both the books and the TV show.

The podcast is also a great entry space for those who are new to the genre with regular citations and references to other fantastic authors and books.

Jeff’s knowledge of the content and genre really shines through in all of his episodes. He’s excited and passionate about the genre and his style of conversation with the guests he had in the show is fantastic. This pod has become a must-listen for me after watching the new episodes of Slow Horses every Friday night! Also made me buy the entire Slough House series… I hope Jeff gets some kind of compensation for this major Herron promo haha :)

Host and guests are all knowledgeable about the Mick Herron books, and have good listening voices. Fun to watch the shows, then listen to these guys!

So glad I found this! This is the kind of show you want knowledgeable people doing a podcast after every episode. It’s a rare thing where everyone in one podcast doesn’t annoy you with their voices or lack of intelligence.
