These guys are just reposting old episodes from the ‘short history of…’ podcast. First the Silk Roads episode, and now the Anglo Saxon one. Super disappointing and lazy work from what’s usually a good podcast network. Better to take a hiatus than rinse episodes from another series.
I love A Short History of but these are episodes I have already listened to. I thought it was new content. I always eagerly await new shows by Noiser. I was disappointed that these are repeats
This show confers the exact same topics with the same host in the same style as Short History of…told slightly differently . The host is brilliant and like all of his stuff. Noiser are quite lazy with this show though. Cover some new topics that haven’t already been done in your sister show with the same host and similar writing.
My favorite part is the guy who’s microphone sounds like it was made during one of these ancient civilizations 👍
I specifically use the podcasts app to listen to content without ads. This dreadful show is riddled with ads and other nonsense. Highly recommend you avoid listening to this.
