  • Thanks for the interview

    …with Ruth Goodman. I am also a fan girl but really liked how you brought up the differences in “historic tourism” (in person or on television) and the discussion that followed.

  • Great host, interesting subjects

    I'm involved in the field and was family with many of the guests before hearing the podcast. So I thought I knew answers before listening .

    However host Nick Redding makes the questions seem so natural, and flow with the guest, that it feels fresh. Good listening- and always indepth.
