  • In my top 5 favourite podcast

    This is a real comfort listen for me, after a lame day at work I can put this on for my drive home and have a giggle. Came here when Carly started the titanic podcast but stayed because I love Blair, and Carly and Blair together. Begging the girl historians to do a series on the plague! Please! Black Death! Black Death!

  • Soooooooo irritating !! I put the first Princess Diana one on and it's based here so English, FFS but no effort had been taken to learn how names and places were said properly. Gave up. Downloaded Kennedy 1, got 40+ minutes in and packed it in as they were STILL yapping about anything BUT the sodding Kennedys. Not for me at all~
