  • Not sending this one to the Gulag

    Just finished the latest episode and have been greatly enjoying Roberto and Brendan’s journey through the Russian rulers. Their discussions are equal parts hilarious and informative, and I’ve learned so much thus far. Can’t wait to learn about the rulers that are ahead - keep up the great work!

  • Great Start. Cant wait to hear more

    Only a few rulers in at the time of the review but this topic needed to be covered. Roberto is passionate and seems to genuinely love the subject. Brenden plays the stoic, to bring the show to reality when then sources sometimes want you to believe otherwise. Cant wait to see how the show evolves!

  • Great podcast!!!

    This is the RexyPod I have been waiting for and I am beyond excited that I can finally listen and learn about the Russian Rulers. The hosts have a great synergy, and I love hearing the role reversals of Brendan as the serious one and Roberto being the joking one in regards to the story telling. Those chronicle antics are fantastic. Go Olga for the best Ruler!!

  • Good but needs less interruptions

    Great podcast about a relatively un talked about topic, the hosts are easy to listen to.

    However, Brendan started to get on my nerves with how much he interrupted with meandering, relatively unimportant info, really messed up the flow of the podcast and made my eyes roll.
