Customer Reviews
Henry and Eleanor
Really interesting podcast - I was sorry it ended! A different take on the rift between Hebert and Eleanor which I’m fascinated by - it seems clear to me that they were he ultimate power couple and much more subtle and nuanced in their partnership then we with a modern perspective give them credit for. Great stuff, how about some stuff about Wales- Llewelyn the Great perhaps?
Sharon - please!
This podcast could actually be really good if it wasn’t for Sharon broadcasting from the toilet or wherever she is located 🤦♀️🫣🙆♀️ I mean, it’s being commented upon over and over that her audio quality is appalling, but she just doesn’t care. Come on, lady, it really isn’t that difficult to get a decent mike.
Lively and inviting
I really enjoy these podcasts, and never miss an episode. They bring the subject matter to life in a lively, inviting, witty way… as if the listener were in the room with them. The two presenters are very knowledgeable in their own right……..
