“Tom’s cadence and delivery has proven to be quite exceptional and delivering find detailed accounts of various times of history during the Anglo-Saxon. Period well on certain topics he uses a wide brush, for the most part he uses a finer brush to help flesh out details”

“A very well curated pod with a more thematic way of describing the Anglo-Saxon period.
By following the history of the different kingdoms rather than an annual description it gives you an in depth view. It is a good complement to both the English and the British history podcast.

“Perfect for long journey from Scotland to York. A carefully researched podcast about a part history I know very little about. Made more interesting because of my own connection with Scotland and York. I liked the pace of the program - both the spoken part and the introduction of key events/people.”
