Kundenrezensionen
Finally back!
So glad you’re back again!
Like talking with friends
This is such a fun podcast, and it feels like having a nerdy chat with friends, while learning the craziest things. I absolutely love it and I’m always looking forward to the next episode!
Hilarious and informative
This is my favourite history podcast (at least in English). Emma and Janina do an amazing job at critically analysing their sources and putting them into a broader context, something that’s too often missing. They are never boring or dry - it’s like eavesdropping on two friends who are way too cool for you but still deliver hilarious and informative personal lessons. Highly recommended!
