Podcast Addict512 days agothe tart guyGood show, bad edit.
I was very eager to listen to the ep: the invention of hell. Overall it was pretty good. The host is likeable and engaging. However at 44:46 the interviewee links Wales and Ireland saying that it makes sense when you know "where Roman Britain was". Ireland was never Roman nor British. Dear editors, words matter, cut this. I'm mostly peeved that the vision of Tundale wasn't included. This was my first episode. I'll try one more and if it's also as poorly edited, I'm out. S.
Podcast Addict3a month agoSenanHow do you have a guest who's got a recent book and there's no link to the book or to its author? how's the guest reference a work and there's no link to the work? Oh yeah. don't care that I'm not supposed to be reviewing a particular episode. Seriously. Don't care.

I would really like to listen to the history of these stories as opposed to commercials and hot takes that are straying so far from the plot I had to switch podcasts.

The podcast covers some interesting topics but I can’t make it through a full episode with Eleanor presenting. Her approach to interviewing is juvenile like she’s speaking to school children.
