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!

I wonder where Richards’ little son was buried... more
