  • please hire an editor…

    I love the pod! And both of the hosts, despite what some of the mean reviewers say. But the filler words, uhhhs, and awkward silences could so easily be edited out. I know criticizing the way people talk is rude but you’re PODCASTERS for crying out loud. Editing is crucial to making an IRL conversation enjoyable to listen to from the outside.

  • Luke, please go to Toastmasters

    I love Eleanor. She is intelligent and charming. Luke seems like a nice guy but the constant “Uhs” and “likes” from Luke really stress me out. I would rather have moments of silence, while Luke figures out what he wants to say, than the Uhs and likes. Also Luke sounds like he is reading from cue cards much of the time, which really take me out of the flow of the show. It makes interesting subjects boring. Please work on the delivery, Luke. I’m not trying to be a jerk, but what I’m sayin... more

Medieval Scotland 2: Writing is Overrated
Q: When people moved for not just vibes, was it often like, well, goodbye, friends and family, I'll never see you again? Or was there an expectation they would come and visit?
It really depends on the individual's social status and circumstances. Nobles might move back and forth frequently, while common folk could be expected to disconnect from their families permanently upon moving away for work or marriage.
