Love the content, music and sound effects too loud.
I used to wait excitedly for every new episode but now I find myself disappointed by constant references to previous episodes (which I have listened to already) and being exhorted to join “our exclusive club”. The Plantagenets were our longest reigning monarchy with a fascinating history. We don’t need all the extra rigmarole to spin out the podcast.
I love British history and Dan has the perfect voice to tell me
Great storyteller, the history is very interesting. What brings the podcast down is that half the show is advertising. I understand that he has high production quality and that comes at a cost, but I'm happy with other podcasts that tell history without the extras and they seem to make a good living
I could listen to this podcast and Dan Jones all day, he’s entertaining, obviously an expert and it’s just an enjoyable listen however…. I do not like having Jay Sheddy Shoved down my throat now. There seems to be no way to get rid of this 2nd podcast. After loving the DJ storytelling then JS comes on and totally ruins it, for me at least. Please for the love of all that is holy separate these 2 podcasts.
