  • 2026 is they’re best year (by far!)

    Long time listener, basically since the beginning. I couldn’t bring myself to review before this year cuz I felt I couldn’t give a good review and I refuse to give independent podcasts bad reviews.

    BUT, this year, Michelle has been replaced with David! And he is a breath of fresh air!!!

    Entertaining Tudor history that doesn’t take itself too seriously!

    My recommendation: start with 2026 episodes.

    Don’t try to listen to the old catalog back to back, or you will be driven insane by Michelle a... more
