United States2 months ago - Cheekily Informative
I wanted to express how much I enjoyed your podcast episode on Gad Beck, I learned a lot more detail on the subject given I’m supposed to be raising money for the movie.
In fact this whole podcast season has been really terrific. You have weaved great expertise and learnings into each episode and it really comes across. Mary & George Part II was also a standout as was the London episode.
Anyway you really upped the game with this years podcasts, good luck with the next set.

Apple Podcasts5bryso17United States2 years ago - Vita and Virginia episode
I loved your discussion! I just wanted to add that both Virginia and Leonard were on a "Gestapo arrest list"(Zwerdling 289, 351).
Edit for the episode on Queen Anne: I’m not a prude, I swear like a matelot. But what Lucy, and Bash, did with bodily talk was nauseating.
