“This is probably a mockingbird pod.. I threw up in my mouth a little while I choked down 5 minutes of this pure propaganda.. if you’re some basic moron that “TrUsTs tHe ExPeRtS” you’re probably deep throating these takes and deserve the brainwashing that you’re getting”

“Really interesting podcast that explores less covered historical stories. Really fascinating. Audio quality has improved lots, but was never really that bad. The shows on location may have some background noise, but worth it for the shows that are on location.”

“These are wonderfully balanced and presented shows covering lesser known topics in enough depth to interest all but also allowing you to follow if it is an area you don’t know much or anything about
Worth listening to all episodes whether you think you are interested in the topic or not

“The conversations flow well and Helen asks interesting and well thought out questions.
She listens to the people she’s invited on to talk about their subjects, without interrupting.
The people she invites on her pod cast are interesting, informative, enthusiastic and not at all boring.
A great...”Read full review »

“As a history nerd, I really enjoy this podcast series, as it delves into areas not usually covered by others.
My only criticism is that it’s too soft, I really struggle to hear what’s being said, even with the use of speakers. It would be great if Ms Carr could up her sound levels a bit....”Read full review »

“I love this podcast. Episodes are a good length and always very varied, interesting and accessible. Its also led me to other history podcasts and I have a long reading list from it and places to visit! It reignited my love of history during lockdown and listening to it (and others) with a tea in...”Read full review »

They’re presented in an engaging manner and the standard of guest expert is brilliant. The only drawback is that this podcast has lead me to...”Read full review »

“This was an amazing podcast. I really enjoyed how Helen Carr set it up, and it was super interesting to hear about England’s history from some well known historians. The podcast’s pacing is a little bit slow, but it honestly works for the interview format that Carr has the podcast following. I...”Read full review »

“Helen is a top class historian . Covers some very interesting topics slightly more academic than many of the more populist historians. If I was to criticize at all it’s the huge gaps between episodes.”

“Really excited for this podcast but the audio is just so difficult to understand. For instance the interview in Covent Gardens was impossible for me to hear due to background music. In the end I just gave up on too many episodes and now the entire podcast.”

“I really like the concept of the podcast and Helen Carr does a good job. But the production quality isn’t great. I listen to podcasts on my commute and frequently have to give up as I can’t hear what they’re saying. The most recent episode about Simon de Montfort is a good example. Much too...”Read full review »
