Customer Reviews
Lovely podcast
I just love this podcast. It’s like two scholarly friends discussing the medieval period.
A Great Listen
Well written, presented clearly, and factual. I really enjoyed every minute of it.
One of my favorites
No posing, no BS, no straining to entertain. In short, none of the things that ruin so many podcasts that purport to be about history. This is British history told by someone who understands it intimately, a scholar with an easy speaking style, and a dry sense of humor.
