  • Fascinating blend of history and story telling

    David has a brilliant way of telling stories The podcast is ruined by the co presenter laughing throughout, she’s really annoying. If you can ignore her, a fantastic podcast

  • Good but let down by

    The guffawing laughter from the female presenter. It’s really jarring and often inappropriate. David is fantastic

  • Spoiled by the female presenter

    David Olosuga is an incredibly insightful and interesting in this podcast. Unfortunately the female presenter is constantly laughing and butting in, her contributions are quite poor compared to his. The cackling in the Great Fire of London episodes is seriously annoying. It really spoils the show, I wish he was presenting by himself, perhaps with guest speakers.
