Splendid!
i have been on crusade with Sharyn since the early days. i simply cannot say enough about her work. it is well thought out and researched. it sheds light on the smaller often overlooked stories and events. she breathes life into, and gives substance to, people who are usually just names on a page. it has provided me with countless hours of thought in my otherwise glum life, and led me to research topics i had forgotten or overlooked. were i to sum up her podcast in a word...splendid. in grad school i slightly fell in love with the much overlooked Cathars...how i wish this podcast had been around in those days. she took what was at times very dry reading and threw buckets of paint onto the subject. and the baltic crusades...also overlooked by many...are an excellent way to understand the middle ages on the continent and how they played a role in europe as we know it today. her treatment of the wars of the roses is the most followable i’ve encountered...and that includes numerous books. the one thing all these events have in common is an overwhelming number of moving parts. it is a credit to her mind and ability to coalesce these into a manageable and fluid format. usually weekly. well done!

More reviews of Reconquista
Another Sharon Eastaugh delight. Very clearly read at a pleasant tempo, totally organised, many useful asides. You will hear about the Moors and their occupation of Spain. Repeat listening is recommended as there is a lot of detail.

Sharyn does a wonderful job of writing and producing her podcasts. Crusades and Reconquista are both interesting, well presented, and steadily published. Thank you for all your efforts.

History of the Crusades was one of my favourite podcasts. I am so happy that you are back and even more happy that you are covering a part of history I know very little about. Thi is a great podcast and I share every episode with friends and family.
