Customer Reviews
This podcast is sexy!
The history podcast I have been looking for – I’ve tried loads, but this is the one!
Why all the inappropriate laughing ?!
The content is interesting and could be great but one of the presenters ( dunno which one - sorry) just laughs all the time when it’s not funny
Couldn’t continue which is a shame
Such fun history!
With two smart, funny, charming guides who make it all super enjoyable and super accessible. I love it!
