A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Having discovered this beautifully done series in Oct 2018, I have been slowly binge listening and have now started the last season. I’m already feeling sad about its impending end as it has been a great companion on my morning walks. I love the rich characters and the historical background. It gives us a glimpse into our grandparents’ lives ( ok, great-grandparents to some ) and thus a greater appreciation for them. There’s also something special about radio in that it envelops you without monopolizing you. Well done to everyone involved.

I have loved every minute of this show and have not only learned a lot about life at home during WW1 but also become fond of its characters. It won’t be the same without the feisty Alice Macnade, the wonderful Marshall sisters, the entertaining Mrs Edkins and the down-to-earth Florae Wilson joining me whilst I relax with a nice cuppa. I hope the BBC will find another drama that is equally as lovely or better still allow us the occasional visit with our old friends.

I have learned so much and really connected to a time period I didn’t k ow very well. I now view Veteran’s Day and Memorial Day very differently with the perspective the show has given me. Well done Jess Dromgoole and crew!

It took well over a year to listen to all of omnibus, and I loved it. I was for sure several of the voice actors played multiple parts, but was amazing when I read up on the cast. It’s evidence that this was a well thought out production about a pivotal time in history. Thanks so much for all your hard work. Bravo!🥀
