Longtime listener, first time reviewer. Can’t say enough good things about this podcast and the wonders it does for my blood pressure. I listen when cleaning up after my toddler goes to bed so it is the perfect pace for me. Love the different perspectives offered on stories we think we know. More often than not, you present difficult subject matter but it is ALWAYS masterfully done. Thank you for the podcast!!!!!
The program was very interesting and Dr Jamie Ingram appeared very knowledgeable however his speech is too slow and laborious. He sounds like a bored catholic priest on the third mass of the day who needs to sound sincere but is going through the motions and sounds as bored as his sermons are boring. Get a little help with your delivery please!! Then I could give this program 5 stars
Love this fascinating information!! Thank you. Great podcast. Wish I knew more about this history before I went to London!!!
I love listening to every new episode of this podcast. It really appeals to my love of the Tudors and I particularly enjoyed the latest episode on the fate of the Boleyn family.
Garreth Russel should be on all of these podcasts! He and Tracy are perfect together!
