Customer Reviews
The best
I’ve been listening to this podcast for a very long time. I love her story telling and content. This is one podcast I look forward to every week and I do listen again to ones I’ve heard before.
It’s fine.
I like the subject, but sometimes it just sounds like a professor who is bored with their own lecture. Dry reading of a script, complete with this-is-where-my-joke-goes jokes, like it’s a lecture she’s read 500 times.
One of the best Tudor history podcasts ever
Heather is the best, I love the range of topics she covers from how the prepared for winter, holidays and festivals, housing etc. as well as Royals and big notable historic events. She adds a level of detail that makes you notice how much she really loves the subject. I work 11 hour days at a warehouse and this podcasts makes my shift so much better! The two negative reviews I did see on here come from some real insane Karen’s 💀 the podcast is great
