Reviews
“The Harlots podcast by Grim and Mild provides a riveting journey through the shadowy corridors of history, where the tales of those often whispered about but rarely acknowledged take center stage. Each episode, crafted with a storyteller's care for nuance and a historian’s eye for detail,...”Read full review »

“I really enjoy the unraveling of historical figures and especially those that get glossed over through history. Thanks for bringing these to life. Recently found this when I visited Grim and Mild. So glad I did.”

“This would be a five star podcast if the host would stop trying so hard. Her voice inflection,her tone-everything. Its just terrible. I listen because I love the historical aspect of this podcast,but she is just annoying.”

“I don’t really leave reviews but I am an avid listener! I actually burst out crying at the end of “Sisters in Arms”. I had never heard about those amazing women and was just very moved by the whole story. What an awful time and what brave, brave women (kids?!).
Please keep doing what you are...”Read full review »

“I absolutely love this podcast. It’s a topic of history that’s so rarely covered, and Harlots dives in with wit and candor that makes it impossible not to enjoy listening. It’s also so fun to hear Jenna host this pod after hearing her on the Patreon-only episodes of Lore. Another hit from Grim...”Read full review »

“I am an avid listener of other Grim and Mild podcasts, but I feel like this one is a little off the mark.

“There is so much to love about the little known history of the women behind powerful men. GennaRose is hilarious as she recounts the seductresses who played the game just right to win the power and influence most women were denied back in the day. So good! I look forward to every episode.”

I usually have to pause and come back to it after a few minutes. It comes across as try-hard as opposed to...”Read full review »

“I’ve seen this a few times now. The content is interesting, but the narration is terrible. She over-enunciates everything. I keep thinking she has a hint of an accent that she is trying to hide by her speech patterns, which is just making everything she says so much more distracting.”

Gets a little grating. Her voice would be lovely without the dramatics. Tone it down a bit and...”Read full review »
