Great content — needs a faster roll out of episodes

A faster roll out of episodes would be preferred, as all the episodes are available for viewing on streaming services. By the time the episode analysis is released on here most viewers would have moved on.

Very interesting

Love this podcast so interesting to hear about what is fact versus crown fiction. The hosts have a great rapport with each other too.

Interesting podcast

I’ve found this podcast series to be very engaging. I have watched earlier seasons of the Crown and found the earliest seasons to be very interesting. However I resisted watching the latest series covering recent events with which we are all so familiar. I don’t need to be reminded of the harrowing details of Diana’s death or the excruciating detail of the breakdown of their marriage. It has become a soap opera whereas the earlier seasons mixed in the politics of the day. However it’s interesting to hear Robert Hardman and Natasha Livingstone talk about what is fact and what is fiction, or somewhere in between.
