Philippa seems very knowledgeable but does needs to convince the listener she knows her subject by not saying ‘umm’ quite so much. Also Coldridge is Devon not Somerset - I have been there, so her information is not always 100% correct. Otherwise a decent agreement against Philippa Langley’s evidence.
Philippa is lovely and brings some true history gems to her listeners. But there’s also A LOT of chit chat and digressing, and sometimes it takes aaaaaaages to get to a point. This is simply not meant to be audio only. You’ll get more out of it if you watch the YouTube or instagram version of this. It’s like having a relaxed chat with a giddy friend ☺️
Be aware, despite the first episode being rated ‘clean’, there are an awful lot of expletives. Recording quality was not great so difficult to make out at some points.
