Great history pod

I love anything involving kings and queens. I enjoy listening to this pod cast of that history

BibHistory Listener ,

Needs tweaked a bit

Great content. However, the host talks over guests. Slow down please.

SensationalShay ,

Can’t deal with all the sounds.

Found this by accident and thought I would give it a try. The host has a bad habit of stopping and smacking/swallowing mid sentence. It’s so off putting when you are listening. I listening to two episodes and she did it in both the whole way through.

Also, she speaks way too fast when telling the facts. Might be doing this because the episodes are so short and so she’s trying to get everything in but it doesn’t work.
