  • Not worth your time

    This podcast is not worth your listening time and it is one of the worst I have come across. It is poorly organized (seems like there was very little to no preparation) and sounds like facts are being read straight from Wikipedia. The hosts are constantly giggling and overusing the word “like.” It takes a long time for the episode topic to actually be discussed. There are too many personal anecdotes that wind off topic, such as discussions about online shopping purchases. This is definitely not ... more

  • 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!
