“Navigating, showcasing and underscoring the intricate treacherous complexities of a term paper read aloud over and over in a high school classroom. Where’d the storytelling go?”

“I like the subject, but sometimes it just sounds like a professor who is bored with their own lecture. Dry reading of a script, complete with this-is-where-my-joke-goes jokes, like it’s a lecture she’s read 500 times.”

“Heather is incredible. She calls herself a storyteller, and she is spot on: Tudor history becomes colloquial yet steeped and in research on her show in a way I’ve never experienced before. I love it! Thank you for your body of work, Heather! I’m only through 2019 but I’m catching up. :)”

“I’m not interested anymore in listening to white people speak with breathless wonder about “frontiers” and “new worlds” and “ages of exploration” without discussing the colonial violence, rape, genocide, and theft that thrust their societies into heretofore unknown “refinement.”

“This podcast is lacking good research and constant mispronunciations. Many historical figures reduced down to TV tropes and depictions that leaves them as nothing more than a caricature of the real person. Monotone host, inaccurate, and tedious to listen to. I do not recommend.”

“Just discovered this podcast, I appreciate taking on small topics that give much better insight to the period than broader topics do. I find this to almost be too short! Like the great book you don’t want to end, but I have lots to catch up on luckily.”

“A treasure trove of discussion of the politics and culture of 16th and 17th century England. I appreciate the tone of curiosity. It isn’t a chronological treatment and that helps you get into the period more deeply.”

“I’m enjoying the podcast but the background noise is disconcerting and it’s very much read like a script. In reading some of the other reviews, if anyone has a problem with feminism, the definition of which is plainly “equal rights for women,” they need to ask themselves why. And Donald Trump is...”Read full review »

“Sorry to be negative but I couldn’t continue for two reasons. 1. Listening to the mispronunciation of Beaufort was driving me nuts and, 2. How can anyone with even a passing interest in the Tudors not have heard the name Beaufort pronounced.”
