The Man Who Calculated Death - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This is by far the best Podcast I have ever heard. If you didn’t know this was a true story, you would say “No Way”. It goes through such a range of emotions, and makes you think about life, decisions you make, and how those decisions change the lives of others. It’s just a fantastic listen.

This WW2 story is easy to follow. Narrated by Suzanne Rico, her personal family history has been lovingly woven together with historical records, family members and relatives of troops utilizing her journalistic background, recordings, sound effects and music. It’s fascinating and edge-of-your-seat thrilling. Brilliantly produced and presented.

A quest almost of two halves wherein dogged research resulted in both emotionally searing and uplifting discoveries that knit together a story far broader and deeper than the early episodes suggested.

In keeping with her journalistic career, this show is well written and narrated and moves at a good pace that balances detail and new revelations. I look forward to season 2.

This podcast reaches across the decades and deep into our hearts. Drawn from amazingly deep documentary research and the stories shared by her relatives, Suzanne Rico’s investigation of her family’s WWII history paints a compelling and human portrait of the grandfather she never knew. At the same time, this story fearlessly follows the dark pathways that lead to the horrors caused by Robert Lussor’s death machines, from civilian deaths in England to sick, starving, enslaved Jews toiling deep underground. That makes it courageous, as well as beautiful.
