“The subject matter is varied and engaging. The podcasts are detailed without being overwhelming. I invariably end up conducting my own mini research forays as a result - just what I like”

“This is a terrible show… upper class over educated posh English women forcing a boring topic on others and trying to be woke at the same time it’s ridiculous. one that almost turns me of wanting to listen to historical content…
Fine line to make it interesting and not like school work and...”Read full review »

“I really love how Suzannah respects and listens to her special guest on the different subjects that she presents. There’s no judgment only appreciation for what that particular subject matter expert brings to the table. I’m not a history genius, I just love listening to it and she makes it worth...”Read full review »

“I don't know why it should be a surprise at this point--Suzannah has been a first rate tv presenter for years now, but she absolutely excels in this format as well. The episodes shed light on an impressively diverse range of well-conceived themes, and the host's rapport with her guests is...”Read full review »

“So many, very interesting topics but often the guests spend the majority of the time talk about themselves, or their process, or their style of writing, or how the research was done as opposed to the actual subject. Just listen to the female pirate episode and I’m almost all the way through...”Read full review »

However Suzannah should really go to see SIX before she makes up her mind that it pits the Queens against each other. She may be in for a surprise!”

“...too many fiction writers, too much fan-womaning(?) for historical figures...
The English have issues yall. Funny how they obsess over Norman conquest and Henry VIII, but crickets about 100s of years of Empire, the pinnacle of their power and wealth.
huh. weird. 😒”

“Because of this podcast I became a paid subscriber. I love the conversational aspect of 99.9% of the content. Some of the guests have so much information to convey they end up talking quite at length without interjection by Dr Lipscomb. That can be a challenge to listen to, but it is such a minor...”Read full review »
