Good pairing

Buried Bones is my guilty pleasure. I love the combination of Paul and Kate. Their voices are timber and soothing. The cases they look into are interesting and intriguing.

I paint landscapes to Buried Bones playing in the background as I find it helps my practical brain switch off and I get lost in the descriptions and story.

Well Done Kate and Paul! You are a great pairing. I'm now on my second listen through!

A beautiful concoction of voices and expertise.
