“They present very long and complicated subjects such as the lives of kings and queens (consorts some times) in a very entertaining and easy to understand way. Their dynamic is also very fun to listen.”

“Fantastic Podcast! I’m addicted. As I’m listening from the beginning I feel like I know the future listening from the reign of Charles 3. I was very excited that the correct king was discovered through their vigorous process. Long live Summas Rex Peter O’Toole!!!!”

“I heard of this podcast through Dr. Emma Southon on “history is sexy” and love it. For the first 6 episodes I listened to, I swore Graham’s name was Grand Duke and he was just running with a theme. Ali’s inputs are actually the best and I have more than once had to stop and giggle. Thanks for all...”Read full review »

“Second presenter of the poscast does not respect the other presenter's opinions at all. He also condescends to the other host because he doesn't know as much about his special area. Wants to be right all the time. Very heavy to listen to at times.”Read full review »

“Since the move to Patreon, and possibly before that, the show seems to have changed.

The first series on...”Read full review »
