I found this podcast failed to provide any reliable information because the Podcaster displays a clear bias in favour of the Sussexes. Not worth listening to.

The reviews only reflect each writer’s own personal triggers and biases - this podcast is more matter of fact than the reviews suggest. If you’re a “beach too sandy, water too wet” person: take your complaints elsewhere.

Every episode has false facts. The latest episode went on and on about the Queen and Philip’s picture with Archie at his christening. They didn’t even attend. They need an actual royal expert. I’m out!

I listen to about six podcasts to do with contemporary royalty, yes really! Each one has a different point of view. I like learning from them all including Scobie. He has his niche—keep it up.

Omid used to do reporting on the younger royals. He has since gone all in on the Sussex brand, acting as a PR shill for M & H. There’s no independence here. Such a shame. This man in his 30’s will now have no future in royal reporting, which is his only skill, as he will rightfully be denied...Read full review »

This podcast used to be a favourite however in the last year has made me wonder if Omid is on the Sussex’s payroll. Wouldn’t bother, check out the blog fromberkshiretobuckingham.com instead.

ABC can do better than this gossipfest. Pod Save The Queen and The Royal Rota are far more informed than this speculative drivel. Omid presents himself as being a royal insider. He’s not. He presents himself as being a spokesman for the Sussexes. He’s not. Omid presents himself as being the...Read full review »

Hosted by someone who has lost their credibility as a royal commentator, he has a very biased view and the show overall forces you to like one side or another. It’s just sad
Niksa2353 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/01/21
Interesting every review makes certain how much listeners dislike Maggie & now Omid. But, the Podcast is simply a fun run on the Royals day to day diaries. & it is Fun! They, the Royals create the best of England & the Commonwealth. The monies & incomes they’ve created for the...Read full review »

Boring podcasts
mjscota via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/21/21
I’m tired of Omid having huge bias towards the Sussex’s. It’s poor and boring! I’ve unsubscribed and won’t listen anymore! Boring!
Johnny PW via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/20/21
I used to enjoy listening to Omid before Maggie came on. I get annoyed with how insincere/overly chipper she is. I’m sure she is nice but is just too cheer leader-y she is. Dont listen anymore :(
msgromit via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/10/21
Will she be first guest on Meg’s podcast, then Oprah big interview and finally on his apple series? A goldmine of stories for her to glom onto and own.
NaomiBurton via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/03/21
The obvious bias makes the show boring. It would be far more interesting if it checked the facts and looked at the story from more than one side.
cleareyedgirl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/21
Host abuses and bullies the Cambridge children. Shame on this man. He can not see his own (or Meghan’s) hypocrisy.
Vcdfgb via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/12/21
I enjoyed Omid when he and Emily had a podcast. As he’s become less a journalist and more a public relations spokesperson for the Sussexes, my trust in his objective reporting skills has waned. Heir Pod is a clever title but, like the host’s job description, misleading.
3510yogi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/25/21
I happened upon this podcast after reading Omid’s book, Finding Freedom. I always look forward to Friday’s when the latest podcast drops. Keep up the great work!
Obdurate42 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/19/21
You say that Henry and Meghan did not want to burden Archie with a title and that Prince Charles agreed that when he became king he would allow Archie to make his own decision. Meghan in her interview inferred that a title for Archie wasn’t allowed due to racism. Which is it?
envigor8 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/19/21
One of my favorite podcast! It’s fair and with knowledge!
Song234 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/12/21
No one cares about them. We want to hear about the real Royals. They are a joke and a disgrace.
1717 merchant st via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/11/21
How could Omid possibly know anything about the BRF if he’s the Sussex’s pet? He is very biased in his “reporting” of the BRF. Should just turn this into a Sussex Podcast only.
Hello.B. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/21
If you’re on team Harry, you’ll love this podcast, if you want a more balanced look at the Royal family, not so much. Omission Scobie, author of “Finding Freedom” is, of course pro Sussex, but as a longtime Royal reporter does know his stuff. His American sidekick, however, gushes idiotically...Read full review »
ETXGardener via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/05/21
Why has it become acceptable for “journalists” such as Omid to attack credible writers based on the colour of their skin? Oh wait... it’s the wrong colour! Racism works both ways,... this podcast became disappointing the minute finding freedom found press! Don’t waste your time and free thought...Read full review »

You will like this if you believe fairies exist. This man will say something in his book, then applaud Meghan for saying the opposite and will completely flip and flop whatever way the wind blows. Want a peak ar his hypocrisy? Him saying “royals stay silent as Harry and Meghan move on” on the...Read full review »

Wish this was a bit more fair to the rest of the royal family
Baird Ann via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/24/21
Appreciate this podcast and particularly the commentary that the Royal Family should consider addressing the issues raised and if not, their actions will be viewed with that context. Be transparent, acknowledge and then move on. The performative statements are virtually worthless without...Read full review »

Love, love, LOVE the podcast! Can’t get enough. Too bad it’s only once a week!

You will only enjoy this if you are a member of the squad who believes the lies and manipulations of the Markle duo
SharonClaire via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/21/21
Used to really appreciate this podcast and then it went and showcased a person who spews vitriol and hate towards certain members of the royal family and those the family supports. This isn’t journalism because he would have at least brought it up with her during the interview but he just ignored...Read full review »

Presents inaccurate information with tremendous bias. I had previously enjoyed this program. It has in the past months evolved into propaganda.
MRKyL20 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/21
I appreciate the fair coverage of the Sussexes. Other ‘royal correspondents’ could certainly learn a thing or two from Scobie. Thanks for not buying into the vitriol.
lpm98 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/13/21
God what utter garbage. No wonder the book flopped. And FYI our Royal Family are not racists.
Slav15 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/13/21
This is the pod for anyone fascinated with the past, present, and future of the British Monarchy. If possible I’d love to hear Omid’s take on something that piqued my curiosity: Since the current rules state that Archie automatically becomes an HRH Prince when Charles ascends the throne—which,...Read full review »

You really know your Royal stuff, but why do you insist on having the American on with you. “No wait, who’s Rowan Atkinson?”, “I’ve never heard of full of beans?!” Is she naive or uneducated? It’s so hard to tell. I really enjoy the rest of your narratives and perspectives, just wish I didn’t...Read full review »

I love the fair and balanced coverage in this podcast!! They give real facts and unbiased information!
apward16 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/21
This is my favorite podcast for updates on the BRF. True insider insight plus fun and positive commentary from the hosts. Highly recommend.
Natakristine144 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/05/21
I listen to the podcast frequently but I am always left disappointed. Omid is fantastic! The effort he puts into his work is clear. He is adept at his trade bringing first-rate analysis to Royal news. He has a unique and valuable voice in this arena. His partner, on the other hand, adds no...Read full review »

I think Maggie obviously seems like a lovely person but her input feels cringeworthy at times. The dynamic between her and Omid is really quite awkward and makes it difficult to listen. As an American, I don’t think it’s fair the way others have characterized her in the ratings but I do agree...Read full review »
Eleele31 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/21
This episode caused me to unsubscribe but I don't know why it took me this long! First the infatuation for Harry and Meghan and then the fake news of Biden and his "special" relationship with the royal family partially due to the issue of climate change. This host is an infatuated fan...Read full review »
Lady Southcorner via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/21
I am shocked that Maggi Rulli stated that all Americans are from somewhere else. This is institutional racism. An apology to Native “Americans” & to people like me who are combating this type of racism is in order.
poires via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/02/21
Ok
Good overview coverage of the royals but I find Maggie’s simpering commentary quite off-putting. Omid endeavors to strike a good and balanced commentary but Maggie add no value.
BMarc28 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/30/21
I love listening to your podcast every week but there are some things that need to be tweaked: 1: Omids voice is too soft or he needs to speak into the mike compared to anyone elses. Even the ads are louder. I listen in the car while I am driving and have to turn the volume up real high when...Read full review »
Sunshine2170 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/12/21
I used to love this podcast & couldn’t wait to get Omid’s insights on all the royal news. Now it feels like just another propaganda arm of TV networks making sure to hit the main talking points. No one cares about the medical decisions the queen or any of the family makes! Super disappointing :/
MaskFreeMom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/11/21
Volume is much lower on this podcast than others- even your commercials are much louder. Can you guys sort that? I’d really like to enjoy it w/out straining. I listen while doing my chores. 🙂
Zierra28 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/09/21
The last 2 episodes I have heard keyboard typing. It’s very distracting. Just an observation. Love your podcast.
Royal Okie fan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/04/21
I loved the On Heir pod because it was informative and to the point. Now that the pod’s evolved to The Heir pod, I’m lost. Maggie seems to perpetuate the boisterous and bubbly/vapid American stereotype, which is embarrassing to witness as an American myself. The banter between Omid and Maggie has...Read full review »

The American sounds like a hyper eighth grade girl trying to impress her teacher by asking softball questions. Omid seems bored.
Sammy430 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/29/20
Why is the banal Maggie allowed to co-opt the podcast. She is a silly woman on a silly show. I can take the silly show but surely there is someone else who can join Omid with less giggling. Her favorite rejoinder “shut the front door” a little tired.
Garlo756 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/26/20
Boring and semi illiterate hosts.
Francis Norman via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/21/20
I enjoy listening to Omid, but I just can’t take the adderrall-induced sounding co-host Maggie. Her rushed, fake, loud delivery is so overbearing and annoying I will give this podcast a break until hopefully they get a new co-host for Omid. (and this criticism is coming from a female American)
