Diana episodes are INCREDIBLE!
I just spent the last two days bingeing all 5 installments about Princess Diana, and they were so well done. They are especially interesting if you are currently watching season 4 of “The Crown.” The hosts are insightful and allow for nuance about the very human members of the royal family. I laughed, I cried—cannot recommend highly enough. Have now subscribed and am interested to see what else they have in their backlist.
I'm wrong about everything! So thank you!
These two are my new fake bffs. I love their energy so much. Their Anna Nicole ep brought me to tears. I *care* about Tonya. I never thought I could learn a new thing about the Nicole & Ron's murders... And yet. The depth of their research combined with their discussions = new knowledge in every show. And their deep empathy. They're my new moral compass. THANK YOU ❤️
My favorite quarantine discovery
I can’t remember how I found this pod... maybe I heard about it from TCO?? Who knows! But I can’t get enough. It’s good enough that I’m writing a review so... that should say something.
The episodes are full of useful and interesting information told concisely and entertainingly. I might add that both hosts have beautiful, extensive vocabularies and articulate their thoughts splendidly! Sarah has a knack for explaining a BIG idea in one masterful sentence. So much good diction! So if you’re an English nerd like me, you’ll love it.
I’m really loving that they don’t currently have ads... but wouldn’t mind if they wanted to make some well deserved paper and sell some ad spots!
Can’t get enough of their content and can’t wait to see what else they cover!
