Katie is throughout and gives the real history. I love listening to her Irish, Scottish lilt. She brings me so much joy even with the darkness of the history discussed. She has fantastic humor and a real way of talking that feels like I'm listening to a good friend.
I’m a trucker and like educational and entertaining things to listen to while I drive, and Ms. Katie’s show delivers. You get the facts, with a good dose of humor, and a touch of well placed sarcasm.
I found Katie on Facebook about a year ago, and I haven’t looked back. She is the queen of interesting history! The stuff you actually want to learn! Love love love!!
Love!!
I do love history and anytime it can be made interesting and fun. I also appreciate that she changes the lense history is seen through.
