  • Used to love this show for years, but not anymore

    Podcast has become excessively chatty in recent years especially when Dr. Emma is on. The constant giggly chitchat is annoying and I have to sift through schoolgirl gossip to find Tudor topics. The chattiness, banter and nonstop laughter get on my nerves. I love Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn but not when other topics are up for discussion. I unsubscribed.

  • Disappointed in Episode

    This could have been an interesting discussion of two strong kings. But the overwhelming chit chat between host and guest ruined the experience. Jokes about the ninja turtles, seriously??
