Customer Reviews
Fascinating and enjoyable
Thanks Sharyn for a wonderful podcast! I highly recommend this to anyone with an interest in the period; good pacing, informative, well researched and, at times, amusing.
Well worth the listen!
Thorough history detailing ALL the crusades, even ones you’ve never heard of. Brilliant narration, highly enjoyable, and quite funny. If you like a brief overview of events, pass on by, because this goes deep!
Thank you Sharon for keeping me company while I cook dinner each night for the past year (and the intro music works to get my wife’s appetite up)
