2: Lies, Lies, Lies

Host Becky Milligan meets King Boris III’s children at Vrana Palace, a royal residence on the outskirts of Sofia, Bulgaria’s capital city. The children share the details of their father’s strange and painful death. Officially he dies of a heart attack, but the symptoms don’t add up. What—or who—is responsible? Becky speaks to witnesses who explain how Boris duped Hitler. But the discovery of a dusty document, thousands of miles from Bulgaria, makes Becky wonder if she’s way off course.

Absolutely Fascinating Historical Murder Mystery

I can't wait for the next episode. My dad was a WW II buff and had loads of stories about it. However, I have never heard anything about King Boris until now. If it is true that he saved all of the Bulgarian Jews from the Germans, and kept the Bulgarians from fighting in the war it is absolutely laudable.
Another thing I really like is this podcast delves into the messy choices that are often made in history. Sometimes there are only bad options that good leaders then make the best of the situation. The presenters do a lovely job of injecting appropriate humor into a very dark period of history.
I sped up the audio not because I had limited time but because I couldn't wait to hear what was next.
