One of my favorites, but with one major flaw
I’m already a big fan of the History Hit network podcasts, specifically Gone Medieval and The Ancients, so I was very happy when they introduced this one. Those two are darn near perfect. This one is very good, but with one big problem. First, I adore Kate as a host. She has a very pleasant voice, and I love the fact that each episode feels like you’re just listening in on a friendly conversation. Her podcasts never seem scripted or stiff, and her questions and commentary are both insightful and funny. The topics are really interesting, and I like how different they all are. Each episode is fairly short introduction to an overlooked or not-widely-discussed topic - this is how I see it anyway. It’s a podcast, not a university class - but there’s enough here to get you started if you wanted to dive deeper and do more research on your own. However, as others have mentioned, the sound quality isn’t the best. I’m not sure why, as many of the other HH network podcasts have very good sound quality, but this one is much “quieter” than almost any other podcast I listen to. It’s NOT that Kate is speaking quietly, it just seems like the volume on the whole thing has been dialed way down. I have to turn the volume way up on this one, then back down when my player shuffles to the next podcast in my queue. I sincerely hope HH continues producing this podcast, but HH folks, if you’re reading this, please improve the sound quality!

Kate Lister is a wonderful host and interviewer. The first 3 episodes had me alternating between laughter and wanting to learn more. The history in Betwixt the Sheets is brilliant!

This is my favourite podcast, Kate Lister is great at interviewing her guests so naturally it’s like hearing friends chat. I am fascinated with the range of topics and the easy and fun way some difficult material is presented. I learn constantly when I listen to these shows. Thanks Kate, love...Read full review »
