“I’ve listened to this podcast since its inception several years ago and always really enjoyed it. I’ve also bought, read, and recommended Dana’s books. She does an incredible job of examining sources, presenting multiple perspectives of historical stories, and narrating them as entertaining...”Read full review »

“I’ve loved the podcast—and Dana as a host—for years, but this most recent episode about the Three Kitchis ending with dull bro banter followed by corny guitar jams on the credits sure was an unpleasant surprise.
I hope this Very Special Episode crossover or whatever it was isn’t going to be a...”Read full review »

“I’ve been listening to this podcast for the last three years and I can honestly say the only thing I don’t like about about this podcast is the lack of episodes. I wish there were more. I even make my husband listen with me sometimes. Every episode I listen to when it’s just Diana. Makes me feel...”Read full review »

“Really impressed with this podcast! I’ve never been a history person, but I had a teacher recommend it to me, and I binged the first 50 episodes in a month and a half! Please don’t let the negativity stop you from continuing Noble Blood! I love it!”

“Dana is a writer, not a historian, and a lot of the text is in Wikipedia, word for word. The production quality is lacking for a Grim and Mild production. In one episode, she mispronounces Moilere, calling him “Moly-air-E”. Two episodes later, she uses the word “malingering” to mean loitering....”Read full review »

Dana has injected her opinion many times throughout this show, but over the last year it’s gotten to the extreme. Megan Markel is referenced as a victim many times...”Read full review »

“For the most part, I enjoy listening. Little (and not so little) things have added up, though. I just listened to the barbarian kings episode, and Dana pronounced Ravenna at least three different ways. Pointing out mispronunciations might seem like nitpicking, but repeated errors (especially...”Read full review »

“I love listening to Noble Blood. This podcast would get 5 stars except that the background music, which is wonderful, is too loud on some episodes and makes it hard to follow what Dana is saying. I say this as someone who has bought both her novels.”

“Adding five minutes of a terrible podcast to the end of every episode is horrible. Stop trying to force feed us something completely unrelated.
Also - many people are mentally ill without being violent. So pretty gross to use that as a justification for violence.”
