Editor reviews

The iMinds Travel series is both an excellent way of shoring up one's knowledge before a trip, or of simply getting a virtual experience of a destination without ever boarding a plane. In this episode, Australian actress Abbey Holmes explores London's St. Paul's Cathedral from the inside and out. Her smooth and voluptuous voice takes listeners into the Whispering Gallery, to the memorials in the Crypt, and to the Treasury while also touching on the 1981 wedding of Prince Charles to Diana and the tragic fates met by all other cathedrals that have stood at the same site since 1604. Shifting mood music reflects the content of the narration, from war to Jubilees.

Critic reviews

"I'm learning all sorts of stuff about stuff I didn't even know I didn't know. And it sticks. In a nutshell: wonderful." (Jonathon Margolis, Financial Times)
