What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’m telling my age but I read the books back when they were published and watched the original mini-series. I enjoyed both very much at the time. This new series takes the story to a whole new level. I am going to go back and re-read the books which have been sitting in my bookcase for all these years. I also very much enjoyed the podcast, especially the interviews with the actors and details of the historical background. Looking forward to future seasons!

For any intelligent, caring person to give this podcast less than 5 stars??? I’d give it 10 if I could. It really complements and completes the series for the non Japanese viewer. I’m going to check with some Japanese friends about their reactions to both.

This podcast has been a brilliant accompaniment to an outstanding production. Having a credited writer as the host lent instant creditability (not to mention Emily did a great job), and the contribution from others who had key roles in the production added so much richness to the experience of FX’s Shogun.

The podcast adds a great amount of insight into the laborious process of making the series, the actors’ performances, and the historical context. Having reached the end, I only wish it was twice as long or that I could watch and listen again for the first time.
