  • Guests can let it down

    I love this podcast. So many fascinating topics and right up my street. But many times I've had to give up listening due to the guests voices. Often such boring voices that I can't get enthusiasm from them or just so posh that they sound inbred. I'm sure not all historians are super posh are they?
