  • This funny and accurate!

    So entertaining and well-referenced! I’ve learned a lot about Medieval Europe in my time including an undergrad degree in the topic. For the events I’m familiar with, the discussion is very accurate, and I appreciate them citing sources. I’d recommend it for anyone even vaguely familiar with the European Middle Ages, as a fun way to zoom into events and people, behaving well and badly!

  • Just a suggestion…

    I’ve only listened to a few so far, but the last 1 I was listening to I just had to stop it. It’s was the 1 about Mary Queen of Scots and Rizzo. I really wanted to listen to it, but it’s hard when you’re in the car, where I listen to all my podcasts, and when 1 of the voices u can hear clearly, but the other is super quiet. Then when u turn it up to hear the softer voice, the 1 that was normal is now WAY TOO LOUD! Maybe editing the volume of the voices would help? I wanted to listen to quite a f... more

  • Good, but not my cup of tea

    I have listened to a few episodes now and maybe I selected poorly. From the ones I listened to if you were to break down the time spent about 10% would be the events leading up to the topic, 10% the topic in the title, 10% the caster’s personal lives, and 70% to related tangents. It feels like they gloss over the topic very quickly. Part of this may be due to lack of primary sources. But I will say, they are very intelligent, articulate, and have done their research. They also seem like they... more
