  • So Informative

    Lucy Worsley is a tiny little woman who looks like a peanuts character with sturdy shoes who is also a great historian of British history. Her shows are very informative and shot in the BBC documentary style of Philomena Cunk. You will often see Lucy Worsley clomping around in her sturdy shoes in castles, museums, and sometimes even archaeological laboratories. Great show! So informative!

  • Used to love the show

    I’m very disappointed they’ve stopped having guests on the show. Now it sounds like two guys just reading random facts off the internet and cracking jokes, with no real substance. I can read random facts and listen to other comedy online. While Neil and Dave are very entertaining, I came to this podcasts for the intriguing guests and deep subject dives that made their show famous. Please go back to the old format.

  • Two better than one

    Laurel and Hardy, Mutt and Jeff, a twosome is best for comic patter, even if a joke falls flat now and then. These two draw on an immense reservoir of arcane knowledge. They do their homework. Count on Tom and Dominic to amaze you in every episode.
