My first and still my favorite podcast! Detailed and interesting and they don’t leave any subject unanswered.
Like others would say, Janega is a dud. Not the right voice, not the right affect, not for this subject, not for this forum.
What I offer here is honest critique of a very real profession. This isn’t some podcast done out of somebody’s garage - these are professional historians, who, given the format, should come equipped with the skills for sharing their content via THIS PARTICULA... more
You know that feeling you get when you see a new episode of GM on a topic you really like but is hosted by Dr Janega?
Awful.
Rest is nice.
His episodes are so interesting and he’s an excellent interviewer. Janega lectures and doesn’t leave much room for her guests to share their knowledge. Her episodes are far less interesting because of that.
This may be my favourite Medieval podcast. The hosts are great and they have a lot of interesting guests. They are so excited about every topic they talk about. Can’t wait to get through all the episodes
