    Wonderful
    I’ve listened to this about 15 times. It first kept me company on New Year’s Eve 2013 in a tiny Fawlty Towers-like B&B in Scotland😆. I keep coming back because I hear something in a way I hadn’t before. It is so enjoyable and Neil makes me feel like I’m right there looking at the objects with him. I never tire of this program.

    I keep on hoping there will be more at some point
    The series is old, but I keep on coming back - hoping there will be more at some point. Insightful and fun to listen to.

    Excellent
    If you enjoy Shakespeare and want to get more from the plays this is a great resource.

    Loved it!
    Heard the ad for this in the 100 objects feed. Listened to all the episodes in 3 days. Loved them! Now I want more. What will the next project be?

    I liked 100 objects better
    Maybe it's because I'm an archaeology student, but I liked the 100 objects series better. This one isn't bad, though.

    Excellent!
    Neil MacGregor is doing it again! He's back, he's full of insights about history and politics and commentaries about Shakespeare. He makes you look at the plays you thought you in new completely new ways. Very worthwhile!

    Welcome Back!!!!
    I have listened to the 100 Objects podcasts at least three times through. I am so glad to have Neils' voice back! I wish other museums would follow his lead and discuss their collections in this format it makes subsequent visits so much more rewarding.
