    One of my favourite podcasts. But please stop doing excessively long pauses between sentences that make me panic that someone is calling me… every time 😂

  • Phenomenal Podcast on History

    One of, if not the greatest, historical podcast. Would love to hear more on English and Scottish medieval history, particularly King Edward III and Edward the Black prince. Also would like to hear more of Canadian history — Confederation, LFQ crisis and the Quebec Referendums.
