I have been listening to this podcast for years now and I have not encountered a single episode that was not fascinating.

I love this podcast more than I can say. As a queer historian and someone who has studied Anne Lister for years, I have had the honor of seeing her diaries in person at the Yorkshire archives and walking the halls of Shibden Hall. This episode is one of my top ten favorite episodes you've all done.
Thank you for making history accessible and engaging to everyone. Well done 👏🏼👏🏼
