Tedious
And oddly entertaining podcast that is well researched, but ultimately becomes tedious. The source material for this period is mostly obscure, while the constant analysis of etymology and such doesn’t make for a compelling listening.

Fascinating and Calming
I love this podcast so much. It’s both fascinating and calming. I listen several times to each episode. I’m happy as soon as I hear the odd, beautiful electro-medieval opening music and the audio detail behind the narrative throughout the episode makes it that much more engrossing.
