“Episodes are informative. I especially enjoyed learning more about Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria. Most episodes cover today’s royal family. It got a little boring and I didn’t learn much toward the last few episodes and there is a bit of cultural bias surrounding discussions of race and women’s roles within the family. I kind of expected it may be that way so I did my best to power through because I enjoy trying to understand people’s points of view and I hoped to gain new insight. Overall, it was underwhelming. But perhaps that’s because I went into it hoping to learn more about the history of the royal family & assumed by the description that more time would be dedicated to historical events rather than the current issues.
The audio needs tweaking. The host and a few guest speakers are clear to hear but other guests are interviewed remotely and there is a stark contrast in volume that made it difficult to listen to without turning up and down the volume. To be fair, I also wear a hearing aid which added an extra challenge. Some of the episodes were too difficult to hear which I’ve never had a problem with before with other podcasts.
Another thing I personally didn’t enjoy was ads mid-episode. Ads are better before or at the end so it does not interrupt the listening experience.”
