I am absolutely thrilled that Paperclip is now available to their readers, now listeners through Audible podcasts. Finished season 1 and all I can say is that their story telling is so engaging and detailed and also thought provoking. You get to learn about so many unknown narratives from our past and I have to mention that I absolutely love how they build the context and introduce and capture the audience's attention. I thoroughly enjoyed the Barrackpore pepper story, it was quite intriguing I must say. Definitely looking forward to what's next!

Fascinating stories for the masses

Wonderful stories of Indian individuals and their lesser known yet significant impact on various parts/people of the globe. Good length and better narration too. Binge listened through the entire season in just a couple of days. Please come up with another season soon.

Fascinating and interesting.
