Best podcast with the most inane and grating ads I have ever heard. They make it hard to listen to too many podcasts in a row.

Apple Podcasts5MWHKnoxUnited States2 months ago - Superb podcast
The History of England has been one of my favourite podcasts for years, and it is one that I recommend wherever I can.
David’s enthusiasm and passion for the subject is only matched by the quality of his writing, and his ability to make the complex characters and tricky narrative simple and engaging. I’m not even going to mark it down for the occasional dad joke, because I have actually enjoyed one or two of them.
