Love everything Lucy Worsley does and these podcasts do not disappoint
I am unfollowing all BBC podcasts in protest of their decision to force Robin Ince from the Infinite Monkey Cage podcast for his support of transgender individuals.
Chewing gum for the ears. Badly presented dumbed down nonsense for the mindless among us.
I love Victorian history and I have watched some of Lucy’s shows and they’re good. This misses the mark. She spends all of her time going off the subject, talking about the laws and stuff today. That’s not why I’m listening. I want to hear about the story from the Victorian times and there’s very little of that . In some of these episodes she and her lawyer cohost just go on and on about the laws today, etc. Not interesting.. disappointed.
Entertaining and informative, s go-to for me when I'm doing housework.
