“1. Another addendum: Please do NOT bring Kristen back, even as a guest. She is the most biased royal commentator I have ever heard, across innumerable podcasts. The show is so much better when it is just Jack. He presents a far more balanced and nuanced review of events/issues. Kristen only has one opinion and has made it known. We don’t need to hear it again. Her defense of the Sussexes knows no bounds. Jack makes excellent points throughout the most recent episode regarding Harry’s and Meghan’s popularity ratings and the quantitative data that suggest their approval has dipped since their Netflix series and the Spare release, likely as a result of their own admissions/revelations. Kristen argues that all of the negative fallout is the tabloid press’s fault; she’s not willing to budge on the idea that the Sussexes have to be accountable for their own decisions and the fact that the more they say, the less people seem to like them. Many of us refuse to read the tabloid reports and have still become more reluctant in our support/belief of the Sussexes…all as a result of their decisions to speak out. Kristen’s inability to accept that we can come to our own conclusions without the influence of tabloids is frankly insulting. Jack, you’re fantastic. Keep up the great work—appreciate you pushing Kristen to acknowledge an alternate point of view; I just think that we have to give up on that dream. 2. I’ve tacked this on to my original review: Resubscribing now that I’ve learned it’s just Jack. Loved him from the start and can’t wait to see where he takes this podcast now that he’s the primary host! Original review below: As an avid follower of royal family content, I am greatly disappointed in this podcast. Firstly, what are Kristen credentials other than “royal watcher”? Is her background in PR, journalism, or research? She presents her comments on matters as if she is an “expert,” but they are largely opinion-based rather than backed by facts or reflective of thorough investigation. Secondly, I had to stop listening early on in the most recent episode because of the guest, who holds a PhD but also presents her opinions rather than empirical work supporting her claims. As a PhD student myself (near degree completion) with over 7 years of graduate-level and full-time academic research work experience, I find this unacceptable. I was looking forward to a research-based, in-depth analysis of the critical topics facing the royal family today, but I was quickly disheartened. In Jack’s defense, he tried to invite a well-informed discussion with his questions; unfortunately, the guest was unable to articulate an appropriate response and resorted to ranting. (Ex: Repeatedly referring to The Daily Mail as “The Daily Fail” is unprofessional. A one-off reference to someone coining the term is fine, but past that, you’re forcing your judgment on others. This is not appropriate behavior for professional academics.) I really wanted to like this podcast, but I will be unsubscribing. I hope that the hosts can improve this show in the future.”

“I subscribe to numerous podcasts regarding the Royal Family. This is by far my favorite for these very simple reasons:
1) The hosts are extremely respectful of one another. They let each other finish what they're saying without cutting them off or interrupting.
2) They each speak...”Read full review »

“If you don’t like the British Royal family or the USA this podcast is for you. The hosts clearly don’t respect anyone who might not happen to share their views, so I will delete all episodes in my library and listen to a Podcast with a little more balance and a little less disrespect.”

“The US host of the show should be replaced and go back to educating herself on the British Royal Family. Shame on Newsweek. Be fair and balanced and not have such an obvious slant.”
