For anyone who wants historical accuracy, go elsewhere. They even state that they change things at the beginning of the episode to add a dramatic flair. I love the chemistry between you two ladies. I have been listening to Even the Rich, and I had to come here. You guys do know how to make me...Read full review »

IT IS SO GOOD 😊

I’m so glad to have discovered this podcast! Whether it’s new facts about a famous person (like Napoleon) or deep dives into the lives of lesser-known Royals, each episode is well-researched and thoroughly engrossing. The hosts are fun and informative. And best of all, I feel smarter after...Read full review »

OMG I would have gotten an A in World History if it were taught like this lol
CandyReddd83 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/29/24
I started listening recently because I was interested in the six wives of Henry the eighth and then I listened to the other episodes and I’m in love with this podcast they make the content so much more interesting than if I were to learn it in a book or classroom.🩷 I’ve read some of the other...Read full review »

Love this podcast. Incredibly educational and filled with juicy details.
iheart317 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/08/24
I really like the mix of history and the dramatic retelling. Interesting range of stories from across the world. Unfortunately spoilt by unfunny asides after which the presenters indulge in over excited giggling (ok once in a while but it’s every 20 seconds). I find that this distracts from the...Read full review »

I’m a man and I love history from a female POV… The men who complain that this podcast is just saying men are bad, well when you actually think & analyze history objectively and not just from a male POV, you start to see how awful men were(and some still are and then write reviews crying that...Read full review »

I turned off the episode as soon as I heard you mispronounce Uppsala. It just seems like getting the pronunciation right should have been part of your research.
Emigirl123* via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/01/24
I love this podcast and it’s no fault of the hosts but it feels like every 30 seconds they break for ads and it’s so disruptive!
podcast123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/23/24
I got hooked after stumbling across the Marie Antoinette episodes. The banter makes me giggle and reminds me of gossiping with my own friends. And I’ve learned quite a bit about royal history, some things have changed my perspective! If you can’t accept the reality that men are at the root of...Read full review »
Dogsonaplane via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/24
Great episode topics, but every other sentence is about how awful men are, how men mistreat women, how women are better than men, etc. It’s getting old. You cannot use the standards of this year to judge the standards of the distant past. 200 years from now, people will look back at us and...Read full review »

…if your friends are into history and can have fun talking about it. When I’m tired of all the doom and gloom, but don’t want to just rot my brain, my girls Brooke and Aricia have my back with a great story. Find myself listening to them more and more. Love it!
Annabelle0131 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/12/24
As an avid podcast listener, I find that hosts make or break the show and these hosts make this listen so fun! The royals throughout history and modern day are fascinating, thoroughly enjoy every episode and deep dive into the royals.
Carolina Vela via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/11/24
I’ve watched a lot of TV docs & read books about JFK & Jackie. But this is the first time I have ever cried while listening to a recounting of their story. Your retelling definitely brought a lot of emotions up. Well done!
angdevgrl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/09/24
Odd negging and weird non feminist comments throughout the episodes make the podcast less enjoyable
Thesilentaudience via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/03/24
The show is exasperating, but very apropos for this age group of podcast. Women are never responsible for their actions, there’s always an excuse, wow the men are bad. Half of the content of the shows made up… which is fine that has to happen in these types of shows, but these podcasts constant...Read full review »
Thank you RunKeeper! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/29/24
It’s so slow and boring. The commentary is lame.
NurseTrishaDT via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/27/24
Cringiest millennial humor and unnecessary giggling from co host. It really takes you out of listening to the story and it’s cheesy. The jokes are TERRIBLE and kidding about sticking a slug up the vagina of a woman they don’t believe is a virgin was actually pretty disgusting!
YAREKCAHT via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/27/24
Not every episode needs 10 mentions about how horrible men are… I can barely listen to one host but like the other one
LKMWAZ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/20/24
Really? Now you’ve put even the rich encores here??? Like there’s not enough repetition already. Stop it! Just stop.
Kellyrose86 via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 08/20/24
I wanted to love this podcast and I almost did. I liked the main narrative for the most part but one of the hosts chimes in with too many pfffff’s, obvious and unfunny put downs of the subjects, and just overall takes away from the story rather than adding humor or depth. Couldn’t even finish the...Read full review »

I’ve listened to these smart funny ladies since Covid on Even the Rich. I absolutely love the royals one and I’m watching My Lady Jane about Lady Jane Grey and this is right in that time period so I’m fascinated!! I love it! Great job, sweet ladies! 👏👏👏💜💜
EVH ROX via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/13/24
I’m hooked after one episode! I love the narration and the banter between the two hosts. I’m a total history buff so this is right up my alley!
mayad2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/07/24
I really like the stories and the way the shape them, but honestly the banter feels really forced and disingenuous. It can be a bit grating at times, but it’s not too distracting from the story for me.
QuilIah via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 08/07/24
OMG
I subscribed to Wondery after listening to the first few episodes of even the royals. Thank you! Great stuff
Zosmomma via Apple Podcasts · Philippines · 08/05/24
Love the show but omg that cackling
History stuff via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/24
I absolutely can’t get enough of this pod! If I was to say only one negative is too much talking amongst the hosts
Ladies dude. His iunsd nut via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/24
I enjoy the factual part of this episode! Commentary is mostly funny, sometimes redundant, and they do warn you about the language. I get that the roles of men and women in history (and the present in some respects) haven’t always been ideal or fair but the man hating gets a little old.
Everynicknameisalready taken via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/30/24
I’ve listened to all of the episodes three times. This show is that good! I’m loving the Henry VIII’s wives series and I cannot wait for more episodes to come out.
pithypickle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/24
Please stop the over exaggerating laughter - laughing so hard & loud at nothing. The stories are intriguing, but the laughter is really driving me crazy & I’m so close to deleting this podcast because of it. Between that & their over-repeated phrase “I KNOW”, my sanity is hanging by a...Read full review »

These ladies are really fun to listen to! I already loved history but they make the stories come alive in the best way! When I need a break from real life, I turn on one of their podcasts to cheer up! Thanks ladies! 💕

You too should do an episode on czar Nicolas

This is my favorite podcast to pass the time. I hade to be in the car for like 7 hours and this podcast made it feel like nothing. The bad words are not that bad. There sister podcast is also great. This would be great for preteens and teens. Could not recommend it enough❤️☺️🤩👍

I started listening last week and got my husband sucked into listening on our way to and from Six Flags St. Louis!
Shae Denise Gibson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/21/24
I've been loving this hilarious historical podcast that dives into the quirks and dramas of royal families. The hosts have a fantastic sense of humor, making each episode a delightful mix of laughs and fascinating facts. They bring history to life in a modern way with their witty commentary...Read full review »

Love this deep dive on royal figures! Please do Eleanor of Aquitaine next! She’s such a fascinating but undercelebrated queen!
wannabebib via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/15/24
I love everything about this show. I learn something new every episode and I love the way the historical figures’ stories are told. It’s hard to get bio dramas to be entertaining and educational, and this show does both! The women have great cadences and are so fun and funny to listen to. This...Read full review »

I listen to a lot of podcasts at home working around the house, in the car etc. Over the last few weeks after finding this podcast it is all I listen to. I love listening to Aricia and Brooke-young, lively fun humor. My only fear is they will run out of royals eventually. If so, I hope they will...Read full review »

I enjoy this podcast and the way it brings history to life. It’s entertaining and informative and all around,a good show…with one small exception: the unnecessary and occasional cursing. Generally when it’s used, it doesn’t contribute to the story in any beneficial way. It just seems to happen...Read full review »

Historically accurate, educational- but also so well narrated.
a11ike11y via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/11/24
Too much giddiness. The constant laughter is annoying. Jane Grey episode.
TildaJean via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/08/24
Please for F🔥CK’s sake learn how to pronounce February.
Aka11201 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/04/24
The subject matter is interesting. The narrators’ constantly chiming in for bad jokes is going to get old.
Susie Snowflake16 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/03/24
One small point that’s driving me nuts on the Queen Charlotte part 2 is that their sons name wasn’t Wales. He was the Prince of Wales. His name was George.
Dannii78 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/25/24
Hosts are great and make history (and historical figures) interesting and entertaining. My only note is about the background “scene setting” noises - they are too loud and distracting (I’ve noticed this in a lot of Wondery shows!). I understand it adds to the story but please tone it down and...Read full review »

Informative, engaging and entertaining! Please keep it up!
MnMsMa via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/12/24
Love the concept of this show and the storytelling, but I suggest cutting back on the interjections of commentary and laughter. Brooke and Aricia are amazing hosts, I think their style for Even the Rich is perfect, as it’s fitting for a pop culture show, but the same comedic style doesn’t work...Read full review »
