I enjoyed the tv show back when I watched it in early 2021 but now I'm really second guessing the content and my memory. Let me explain. Sam and Graham are perfect for the audiobook but wow they come across very egotistical and sexist in the book. I'm really trying to wrack my brain to remember if what was said in the book is the same as the show as there are points of crossover. The show contains many interviews so there's less just Sam and Graham.
If you are interested in Scottish history, likely wouldn't recommend this one to you. If you're wanting to know more about Sam and Graham's careers, you do get insight here. They clearly have fun sniping at each other during their banter but at what cost... There should be more effort made, especially in this day, to not call Graham "Lady McTavish" for enjoying lattes, safety and a comfortable bed. It likely wasn't intended as a gender jab and more about class, but it just doesn't come across well. There are also some homophobic tones to how Jamie Fraser's abuse from book 1/season 1 of Outlander is brought up while being a little to casual regarding rape.
I liked bits and pieces of Clanlands. Sam and Graham's voices are excellent for audiobooks, which is also why they're great on tv/stage but the overall tone was just not what I expected from these two.
