Reviews
Miranda Sawyer in the Observer
- Mistresses (Audible) - “Here’s a fun twist on the usual two-hander history show. Mistresses, with Jameela Jamil and Kate Lister, is an Audible series that takes a deeper look at the hidden histories of six ‘other women’ – those only known for being a famous man’s side chick. Lister is a laugh-out-loud newspaper columnist and sex historian; Jamil, an actor, broadcaster and all-round motormouth. They make a charismatic combo, and Mistresses is a hoot.”
- Rebel Radio: Gaps in the Dial (Barbican) - “Gaps in the Dial is a six-part series about pirate radio made by Tayo Popoola for the Barbican, which is hosting several exhibitions about sound at the moment. Popoola is an audio ace: great producer, excellent interviewer and good host all rolled into one. Pirate radio is a topic that, for oldies like me, feels quite well covered already, but Popoola manages to tell new tales and avoid cliches.”
Fiona Sturges in the FT
- Easy Money: The Charles Ponzi Story (Apple Original) - “Though it does feel overcooked in parts, the series is nonetheless effective in getting under the skin of its protagonist. Easy Money paints Ponzi less as an out-and-out villain than a proud and charismatic man who, to avoid the ignominy of destitution, made one bad decision after another and quickly got out of his depth.”
