No more Maggie

I like listening to Omid - he’s well-spoken and has a fantastic knowledge of the Royal fam, aside from his clear bias for H&M (no complaints just seems odd from a journalist).
Not only does Maggie not add anything, but she detracts from the podcast. It’s clear she’s finding her feet in the UK, but doesn’t have the insight to be commenting on the topic. I gave her a try, but may have to tune out until she’s gone.

pauanui princess ,

Queen Elizabeth

This podcast couldn’t be more wrong Queen Elizabeth was not the Queen during WW2 . A very simply fact which could have been checked. Also to say very few people alive today would remember any other monarch!
Really she hadn’t been the Queen for 100years only 70 fantastic years

Maggie is hard work

Maggie is really difficult to listen to, she stutters and stumbles over her words. Maybe best to do it on your own, I don’t see any benefit to the podcast with her in it!!
