United States24 days ago - very interesting and entertaining but…
I really love the premise of this podcast, However I’m more and more annoyed by the way Eleanor ‘interviews’. These aren’t conversations, but non sequitors. question /expert answer/superficial or cliche “deep” answer/ next question. This is amateurish interviewing, no better than at a school paper. Phd or not, it’s time to upgrade this host.
Apple Podcasts2Tante jaantjeUnited Kingdoma month ago Generally love this podcast, but whoever controls the background music special effects etc needs to tone it down. I don't have great hearing, so identifying the presenter over a cacophony of auditory dramatic affect - especially the case where they adapt a medieval Scottish accent.
Podcast Addict4a month agompdear- Why Fraahhnce?
I really like this podcast and I learn a lot, but why does Dr. Janega pronounce the country, France, as Fraahhnce? Dr. Janega is American and doesn't seem to pronounce any other word with an English or continental accent. Like nails on a chalkboard 😖
