  • Funny, charming, and informative

    I first came across Laura Lexx several years ago when she went viral for handling a heckler at a show. I started listening to her other podcast with her brother Ron-Lexx Education. Have since decided to try out National Treasure though I don’t live in the UK. I am now catching up and everything I missed. I love this podcast. Laura and Will are funny and charming. They’re the kind of people you want to hang out with. And I really enjoy all the historical sites and information. I took an English h... more

  • Charm minus smarm

    This is a lovely, uplifting podcast by two comedians with brilliant chemistry. Laura’s jolly chuckling at Will’s heartfelt grumbling just never gets boring. It’s refreshing to hear authentic audio that isn’t over-edited or over-produced too.

    It is also shedding light on various bits of Britain and its history that I don’t know much about.

    As a bonus, I’ve discovered other comedians and podcasts through the interactions with their guests!

  • Gentle, Funny and Thoroughly Enjoyable

    There’s really nothing not to like about this. Laura and Will work brilliantly together, their humour is a delight and the whole thing is overwhelmingly positive which makes a nice change these days.

    If you like the Mortimer & Whitehouse fishing show, this should be right up your street

  • National Treasures indeed

    This is such a funny, light-hearted listen. Will and Laura are hilarious, as are their interactions with the kindly/villainous volunteers at the sites they visit. An absolute joy to have discovered in lockdown!

  • Delightful virtual tours

    The lovely Laura Lexx and charming and handsome Will Duggan are fabulous hosts. I’ve especially enjoyed this podcast as I’ve walked the streets near my home repeatedly during lockdown in Melbourne. They are funny, knowledgeable, and paint a vivid picture of sliding down a muddy hill in Converse. English history will never be the same again. Can’t wait for season two when they are allowed out again.

  • So good, so funny.

    Not only is this podcast a great option to get excited about future travel when you are stuck at home, but it is also very funny! I laughed a lot listening to the first episode.

    If you have ever traveled with will this is also a little nostalgic because his quick quips are tied to some of my best laughs while traveling, and this podcast keeps them coming.

  • Fun and informative

    I really enjoyed spending an hour wandering around Blenheim with Laura and Will, and I’m very much looking forward to the rest of the series.

    They painted vivid pictures of their surroundings, with warm humour and frivolous silliness. I giggled and laughed out loud more than once. Lovely.

  • Blenheim Brilliant!

    An excellent new podcast that’s at once both educational and entertaining! The first episode was brilliant, I particularly enjoyed the conversations with guides/butler who added an additional layer of charm to proceedings.

    I have high hopes for the rest of the series ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    A delightful combination of interesting facts and humerous chat between Laura and Will. They have a lovely comradery and did a great job painting the picture of what Blenheim Palace is like. Can't wait for the next episode!
