But a Harry Potter episode was a baffling choice until I heard Dana now works for CBS.

United States19 days ago Keeps putting episodes from the host's other podcast in the feed. The last straw was it being a Harry Potter episode. I've been a listener since the beginning, but that was it. Unsubscribed, find something better.
Podcast Addict119 days agoEric Baker- Used to be excellent, but has gotten drier and drier
In the beginning, this was a perfect series. Really entertaining. Wonderfully delivered. Then it became a slow, dry recitation of facts: the Thrift-Shop Pope episode was excruciatingly dull Lasted barely 11min and realized I wasn’t remotely interested in hearing about the comprehensive history of Ecumenical Councils. The more recent Three Kings Walked into a War was even worse. I keep hoping it will return to its original energy, but sadly no. What happened here??

Canada23 days ago Informative and interesting. This particular episode brought back good memories of one of my college professors who wrote multiple books about Reginald Pole. RIP Dr. Tom Mayer.
Podcast Addict5a month agoJonnyB82- Perfect for autumn 🎃🍂
I come back to this podcast every autumn and it is perfection. History with spookiness, but Dana humanizes historical figures and explains the contexts and situations clearly. I learn a lot and it had perfect content and vibes for fall 🎃
