- Ditch Janega !
She has the most annoying voice, accent and way of speaking! I need to take a break from this podcast until they get someone else. These days I only listen to the show when she not in it.

I know we shouldn’t encourage you but all your podcasts regarding Richard III are simply fantastic and if I had the time I would listen to them all day!
Life was certainly cruel in Medieval times and for a man to be King for just two years and suffer the horrors which Richard III did, has encouraged many folks to think only the best of him.
Keep up the good work and I will keep listening to all your informative and amazing podcasts whenever I can.

Australia18 days ago - Great Show!
I have been an ‘After Dark’ listener since that show started and have always meant to venture out to this show after the guest appearances from these hosts and just never got around to it. However, since Eleanor has been stepping into the role of Maddy there I’ve felt compelled to follow her because she’s just so brilliant!
