This podcast? It’s okay..I normally love history but…this kinda makes it boring almost like Im gonna fall asleep if I listen to this podcast in the day that’s why this is my go-to fall asleep podcast…sorry-ReviewB00K
Partiale really interesting. But unfortunately out of context - it’s ’just about Marie Antoinette’ - nothing else really.
That noisy guy in particular is unnecessary, but also the women… please less banter (it’s not so funny for listeners🙄), and more interesting history.
Have your banters AFTER the shows please and enjoy.
