Customer Reviews
What a delight!
I enjoy several history podcasts but never had interest in the Stewart period previously. I found this podcast while looking for info about George Villiers. What a treasure! I’m just starting (late winter 2024) and I’m excited to binge this podcast. The info is presented in a way that really helps track all of the names through the decades and all the political chess games. I find it absolutely fascinating and the humor and detail is joy. Well done!
High Quality
Excellent research and presentation with a bit of dry humor.
Excellent podcast
I found this just through a search for Stuart-related podcasts and it is excellent. Just as with with reading books, I prefer something a cut above “popular history” and this podcast is very well researched and presented. I’m working my way through all the episodes now and will be sad when I’m finished. There has been an explosion (it seems to me) of ‘History of..’ podcasts and many are very good, but this is one of the best.
