Louis XIV is dead, and his heir is a 5-year-old child. With so many deaths occurring in the royal family, it falls to an unlikely royal nephew, Philippe, duke of Orléans, to govern France until Louis XV comes of age. Completely unlike the callous old... more

    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.

  • Love it!

    With any modicum of real power, Eliza would definitely be a tyrant.

  • Essential but mildly irritating

    I’m a fan of Rex factor, Totalus Rankium and Pontifacts, so really welcome this podcast. It fills in the gaps left by the others. Clearly a lot of hard work and research go into Ben’s presentation, but I don’t find it as effortlessly funny as the others. Never mind! I now know so much more about mediaeval Europe! Thanks!
