good

the only suggestion I would give is to consider the arrangement of the episodes as I certainly think that other episodes would have been more significant by order as opposed to what was arranged originally

Disapointed not to hear full stories!

Good story told about when and where the speeches happened and what caused them. I did think that you would get to hear the speech in the full.

music and words.. not good for hearing disabled

some people with hearing problems cannot discern between music and words when played simultaneously. so what would have been for me some interesting listening was unable to hear with the music background.
