Get the American off

You really know your Royal stuff, but why do you insist on having the American on with you. “No wait, who’s Rowan Atkinson?”, “I’ve never heard of full of beans?!” Is she naive or uneducated? It’s so hard to tell. I really enjoy the rest of your narratives and perspectives, just wish I didn’t have to hear the American “learning new things” aloud all the time.

Great pod

The reviews only reflect each writer’s own personal triggers and biases - this podcast is more matter of fact than the reviews suggest. If you’re a “beach too sandy, water too wet” person: take your complaints elsewhere.

Used to love this pod!

I’m tired of Omid having huge bias towards the Sussex’s. It’s poor and boring! I’ve unsubscribed and won’t listen anymore! Boring!
