Tell everyone to listen to HBB!
My favorite podcast ever.
Like a history lecture, but from a friend
This is one of my top podcasts. I love the conversational feel but I’ve learned so much in my years listening. I’m a medieval nerd but appreciate the various backgrounds of women chosen. I WISH it could be updated more frequently but I understand the amount of research must take a lot of time. Keep it up, ladies!
Emilicious
The Emily Dickinson podcast was a lovely mix of scholarship and off-the-cuff commentary. Just the right balance!
