Excellent podcast!
Sarah and Peter are great together at blending facts and humor to make history interesting! I had no knowledge of Spanish history and now I’m looking forward to every new episode!
Excellent
Really great podcast which makes this complex country and region a lot easier to understand! But please get this podcast on the Sticher network as soon as possible! It will really help me access it more easily. Podbean has really annoying ads that interrupt the audio sound of the episode while the episode is still playing.
Best podcast name ever!
Very informative. Great hosts with a good balance between engrossing information and hilarious banter. I’ve only been listening for the past few days, but I can’t get the name out of my head and every time I think of it, it makes me smile, and it makes my day brighter! I listen to a lot of Rexy pods this one and potafacts (probably didn’t spell that right, but the one about the popes) are probably my favorite if I was forced to choose . Also amazing music ques! I really wish I could learn to play castanets now!
