  • Great, apart from this bs wokery that is so far from actual history or facts it's quite frankly scary. I'm of Scottish descent, I have Scottish relatives, Ive lived there - I know the history too well and the episode the plaid was the most deluded rubbish even a cybernat who lives in a broken old camper off the A9 would find it deluded. History is complex and never simple us vs them. Christ.

    This is the type of storytelling and immersion that made me fall in love with podcasts many years ago. None of the video slop that’s taken over the medium! Avery is so skilled in taking a seemingly simple subject, and then weaving in historical context, human emotion, beauty, and ethics in a way that is both informative/educational and entertaining. Each episode is such a gem to listen to. Would give 6 starts if I could!

  • Amazing

    I’m not a fashionista. My style is jeans and a T shirt. I have my nicer “fits” for weekends and events with friends, that could be considered stylish but that’s it. Full stop. I love this podcast! I love the history, trivia and insight. Amazing work. Also, full disclosure, I have been a fan of the host for a very long time. I absolutely love her. I’ve listened to everything she has done. That voice! I could listen to her reading the phone book. Keep up the great work
