“The overall podcast is entertaining and well done but the author needs to work on her pronunciation of Turkish, Arabic, and Persian names and words. It is very jarring to hear names and proper nouns mispronounced over and over again throughout an episode. Importantly, the author is not sharing up to date information. In the Sultanate episodes, 1/3, she shares that Ibrahim marries Hatice, Sultan Suleiman’s sister. This was disproven over 10 years ago by historian Ebru Turan. Finally, if the author has crossover topics between one episode and another, she repeats word for word what was said in the initial episode instead of saying something new or different in the next one.
Oh and the author left a review of her own podcast to try and get her stars up.”
