Popular Reviews of Outliers

Now I have finished first series I have decided to move up to 5 stars. This is one of the few anthology podcasts that I am enjoying.I am a few episodes in, and so far quite hit and miss. I expect it will continue like that but hopefully the hits will make it worth it.

I'm very much not a historical fiction person, but this podcast is just excellent. Particularly enjoy the inclusion of the chats with the writers!

The only show since Horrible Histories to make me invested in finding out more about history. I wish this show had been around when I was in highschool

Anthology series where each episode has a different writer and narrator, focussing on a different semi-fictionalised character from British history (clerk, lady-in-waiting, prisoner, kitchen boy, etc.). The stories tend to focus on a dramatic point in their lives, and are generally very gripping to listen to. Well produced podcast series with some really nice soundscaping. I recommend also listening to the interviews with the authors of each episode.

Historical fiction anthology presented as monologues, all set in the UK and revolving around a pivotal moment in a character's life. Each episode has a different narrator and writer. The acting and writing are generally engaging, and the stories range from thought-provoking to amusing.
