  • “Hey divas” is the new “let’s go girls”

    Absolutely obsessed. As a chronically online girly who loves history, this podcast is a combination of humour, pop culture, and learning some really insane things about the past, all while feeling like you’re listening to your bestie spilling the tea. You’ll gasp, you’ll giggle, you’ll say “GIRL WHAT” fully out loud bc some things you hear are just insaaane. The Aussie accent is the cherry on top. 5/5 stars

  • Could Be Better

    I love the content of the podcast, but I wish the host spoke more naturally. Sometimes it’s hard to follow what she’s saying, especially complicated concepts, because she pauses and uses intonation at strange moments. I wish she would just speak more naturally because I really do love the stories she’s telling.
