I really enjoy the storytelling from this podcast and have learned a lot about some royals that I have never heard of. It’s really interesting content, but the hosts’ constant laughing throughout the episodes (some of which seems fake or forced) and attempts at humor get a bit annoying at times.

I dont normally write reviews but I love History but find podcasts/documentary can be a bit dry but the Queens have done such a good job portraying the characters. It is so entertaining but also educational 😊 highly recommended! And for those who don’t like the hosts or the podcast just move on

This show is good, very entertaining. But it’s a bit annoying that they only have parts of it available and then you have to pay for a part 2. I get they need to make revenue but there are bigger and more popular shows out there that has tons of free episodes and the paid version is for bonus...Read full review »

I greatly appreciate the hosts’ engaging narration, beautiful voices, and well-executed sound effects. If you have an interest in history, royalty, and intriguing gossip, this podcast is highly recommended.

I've tried so hard to like this podcast but it's one disappointment after another. I'm giving up.Read full review »

I’m a royal history nerd and your added goofy comments, personal anecdotes, and constant laughs make my day! I feel like you tell a story how I would tell as story - with my own twist of wittiness and humor. Please don’t stop! I love y’all so much. 💕💕💕

This show has great potential to be a fun listen but it gets tiring to listen to so much hatred for men interlaced within every story. I love men and sometimes wish women could be level headed like men are. Just my opinion there, but my point is, it’s exhausting listening to your hatred for men....Read full review »

These stories are a lot more interesting than I expected. I love to unwind at the end of the day with a glass of wine and a story about a royal I’ve never heard of. Keep it up, ladies!

I started listening to this podcast a couple days ago and I’m hooked! I’ve found myself in many royalty Wikipedia rabbit holes so this podcast was right up my alley. Both hosts are funny and I love their banter. I’m super excited to keep cruising through these episodes and see where this Podcast...Read full review »

Cringiest millennial humor and unnecessary giggling from co host. It really takes you out of listening to the story and it’s cheesy
YAREKCAHT via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/24
Too much self-indulgencee laughter.
Combobulate via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/12/24
Enjoyed the first few episodes but lost me when they joined in on the bullying of the POW. Conspiracy theorists. Beurk

It’s like two teen girls are talking.
DCC Flyers via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/11/24
They story telling is good, but the hosts trying to make it funny with commentary, not good.
raqcor via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/10/24
I discovered this podcast a few days ago and binged every episode. The hosts are such amazing storytellers and I am picturing everything as they are telling the story. I’ve learned so much, and am dying for more episodes! Give it a listen, you will not regret it! 🫶🏻 thanks for such interesting,...Read full review »

I can’t figure out the audience for this podcast. It’s so dumbed down with extended giggling and not very funny jokes that it can’t be for history fans. It can’t be for royal fans because I think they could understand Marie Antoinette without a “fight song.” For me, it’s just too silly.
Maddikin via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/01/24
The stories could be more interesting if the hosts stop with the forced giggles and stupid jokes. These woman aren't cute or funny and ruin the narrative. I had to stop listening they were so annoying.Read full review »

The chemistry between Aricia and Brooke is electric! Their research and storytelling skills are stellar, and their old school references make this Millenial sigh in nostalgia. They are so clever and funny. Love this show and ETR so much it makes me want to start a podcast with my own bestie!
AmSiegel223 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/26/24
“Tsarina Regina George”!!! 💀
Milermo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/24
I’ve enjoyed some of the episodes, and others a bit less. But I had to stop listening to the one about the Hawaiian queen, because the way Brooke has chosen to say her name “LEE-LEE-OOOH-kalahni” really grates on the nerves. There’s no way that’s correct!!
meg066 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/24
What a dumb show. Amazing these people actually get an audience. Completely idiotic, boring conversations about pretty much nothing and they can’t even spell.

I love listening to these two! I find them so genuine and love how they tease each other. The content and range of stories is great too - I’m always looking forward to the next episode.
Saffa Mom via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 03/14/24
Aricia and Brook takes you on a unique adventure into the lives of some amazing characters both past and present. Get comfortable, and enjoy the unfolding storylines because I promise you that you’re going to feel like you’re sitting in a cozy room listening to the fun and laughter of these two...Read full review »

Hosts provide interesting commentary related to the story they're telling, and they don't jabber endlessly about topics unrelated to the story like many podcast hosts.Read full review »

Great stories but the hosts are too cynical. Great stories ruined by commentary that does not reflect reality to all listeners. I love the USA
EY0504 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/13/24
Ugh, they lost me when they said an option for Marie Antoinette would be to run from her marriage bed, but it would be difficult in a hoop skirt. This was after they said that while some parts were dramatized, it was all based on facts. Hoop skirts didn’t come about until the 19th century. So...Read full review »

Its like having someone read you a Wikipedia article. Nothing new or interesting and clearly the ‘research’ done here is basic, underdeveloped and surface level.
i 😻pugs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/26/24
Unfortunately, not everyone can be an historian and that’s OK! While I enjoyed Even the Rich, please, Wondery, don’t assume listeners are only interested in pseudo feminist historical retellings. Give us some meaty, legitimate content. Give us real women historians with actual expertise! Now that...Read full review »

I get I’m probably not the audience for this. I love history. I enjoy a good fictionalized account that makes people from the past relatable. Something about this is trying way too hard to be funny and modern. And by all that is holy, it’s LOU-ee not Lou-WEE.
Karmasprobe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/18/24
This and their other podcast would be fantastic if those two would stop with the yakking and giggling and trying to be funny. Therefore, I have stopped listening.
linnie phil via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/12/24
I love learning about history, and these stories would be fascinating, but the two hosts turn it into “girl power” story time. They basically high five as the Chinese Empress carries out a coup and sends her rivals to be executed. You go girl! (Are the hosts historians or just actresses reading a...Read full review »

I usually prefer to stick to the information based podcasts and like to leave the conversational aspect out as much as possible. These two are great. I laugh with them like I’m part of their inside jokes and the story never suffers. They make this show worth it!! Also great writing.

I love this show so much!
fiona’s last bite via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/07/24
I have had a hard time finding podcasts I like because the hosts talk too much about themselves and I just want to hear the story. These gals do a great job of telling the story and we learn about them and who they are through the deliverance of their topic! Great job!

Margaret CA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/24
This is a fun podcast. The host are entertaining and the pod is well produced. Tells some well known royal stories in a new way and covers many lesser known royal histories. Glad I added it to my playlist.
KItty_J18 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/24
Cannot stand listening to these two natter. Not funny and like listening to fingernails on a blackboard. I would give zero stars if possibly. Avoid.
Andrew Palmer via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/30/24
If you know nothing about royals and want to just get an idea of their stories, this might be for you. But if you have even a base knowledge of some royal figures in history, save your time and listen to something else.
Sarak51 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/29/24
Just finished listening to the Empress Dowager Cixi of China in the 19th century. It was a fascinating history lesson, including the role of women, and fun way to learn about the Chinese culture, empire, and government leadership of that time. Thanks for the narrators’ infused humor, too.
USA Mknitter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/28/24
First off, I’m a fan of Even The Rich and I love the way the two girls banter and their way of story-telling. The reason I’m giving it a 3 star right now is because my first listen of this podcast is about the Dowager Cixi, right off the bat, the pronunciation of Cixi is way off. I mean just...Read full review »

I am on my second episode. I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did, and when I started this one I didn’t realize you guys also did Even The Rich! And I enjoy that one too. One thing that does bug me is it sounds like one of the podcasters always has a sucker or candy in her cheek and it...Read full review »
KhScrim via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/26/24
This podcast was and feels like it was cooked up in a board room to generate money. I’d much prefer to hear two people with actual interest and knowledge on a given subject discus their thoughts, than to hear two hired actors pretending to be having a blast while reading a script.
DylzPillz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/25/24
I love the fun, friendly chemistry between these ladies! I’m going to check out Only the Rich next! If you like Wondery’s scamfluencers, you’ll probably dig this too, as I do.
smm99 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/24/24
The constant chuckling, laughing, and irrelevant commentary is so weird. Not the vibe.
Okmhfdghh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/24/24
Story line is lame. The host laugh continuously. I don’t think they fact check either Maybe some new host and some good fact checking could be interesting
donkgct via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/24
Obsessssssed with even the royals. I joined wondery + bc I couldn’t wait anymore. Im taking one of these silver spoons and gobbling this up!!!!!!!!
Dhillman82 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/24
The show is full of inaccuracies and the hosts are more interested in giggling than actually discussing the historical topics. Subscribed and cancelled within an hour.
BibHistory Listener via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/18/24
As a royalist, I love this podcast. So interesting. If you wouldn’t use bad language, I could share it with my class!
