A confident, fun, perfect perspective on French history
This podcast proved immediately addicitng. It tackles big moments in French history from unexpected (and necessary) angles like food, urban planning, and courtesans while making these events seem like they just happened yesterday (apperently the Marquise de Sade and Otto von Bismark were back-to-back troll champions of the world). Diana's an immediate star of the podcasting world, with a warm voice the microphone loves, a crisp and sometimes teasing writing style, and a deft ear for music cues. Highly recommended for lovers of Karina Longworth's You Must Remember This.Read full review »

This is easily the best French history podcast I've found in English. The episodes are well-written and conceived, and she has a real eye for unusual or untold stories and how to share their significance with the public. Thanks so much for the podcast.Read full review »

Diana's voice is soothing yet electrifying. She could make an accounting podcast interesting. The material is fascinating and well researched. It is quickly becoming one of my favorite podcasts.Read full review »

I found this podcast while searching for a history podcast that was not about Rome. I have never been disappointed. Great stories that inform and entertain.
