  • Love the info!

    Love the podcast for the info, it’s delivered in a very fun way despite the topic being very morbid. But the 10 to 20 minutes of ranting in the beginning of the episode becomes too much after a while and one of the hosts just talks and interrupts too much. It really drags down the episode.

  • Lots of fun

    I have been listening for years now and I am a big fan of Elizabeth and Megan. I found my people! Tudor enthusiasts with a penchant for the macabre, the stories told are always interesting and the ladies are very funny! Truthfully, I listen for the banter and the digressions. I wish I could hang with the two of them. Wonderful, original podcast. Keep it coming!
