But who will they select as the crème de la crème, and who will they send to the Guillotine? Proudly inspired by the Rex Factor podcast.

My favourite podcast
Thanks to Ben and Eliza for bringing us this fun overview of the French monarchy.
Ben is great and the overall format is interesting and fun like Rex Factor. I like the French version of the categories like Oh là là for Scandal. Eliza, the cohost, can be very grating, which isn’t helped by audio issues. Her random “aaaaws” for instance are always way too loud.
“Just rate us 5 stars and call Eliza a Witch” - Eliza Sommers in the Charles VII episode. Love y’all deep ❤️
With any modicum of real power, Eliza would definitely be a tyrant.

A bilingual, humorous history show that ranks French monarchs from Clovis to Napoleon III across five scoring categories, with Ben presenting each ruler and Eliza weighing in with banter and commentary. Episodes balance solid historical detail with lighthearted skits, making medieval Europe approachable for curious listeners who enjoy a Rex Factor–style format and royal intrigue. Noteworthy is the duo's dynamic: informative storytelling paired with playful debates about who deserves the crown or the Guillotine, plus recurring nods to culture and scandal in monarchic France.
