“The title here is a reference to Game of Thrones, which it’s been said was inspired by the War(s) of the Roses. It’s hard to out do the real life shenanigans of House Plantagenet, though. I have been fascinated by this dynasty since I was about 13 and received the Avalon Hills game, Kingmaker,...”Read full review »

“I absolutely love Season 1 (almost finished), with only one irk. In a too short episode of 20 minutes, the ads take up 3-4 minutes. I’ll consider the “ever being reminded of” Subscriber $ further along, but it’s getting irritating enough trying to spend my 30 minutes of free time navigating...”Read full review »

“Dan jones narration is unparalleled and I subscribed to the full channel because I cannot get enough. Moved from the us to the uk recently and he’s given me such further insight into an area of history I thought I had a grasp on. What a treat! His research is flawless and he uses it to compel a...”Read full review »

“Fun and informative, but the writing/performance has become a parody of itself. Predictable. Singsong. Overproduced. With a lot of padding out the run time with useless descriptions and sound effects - they frequently duplicate each other, like something out of a see and sound book.”

“I Iove History and I know why. When I was in junior school we had a teacher who would sit us all down and tell History like it was story time. The drama, the gossip, the legends. This podcast makes me feel like I’m listening to Game of Thrones and I’m here for it. A genuine delight.”

“A great story well told by a gifted storyteller. However my understanding is that Henry and Eleanor’s “devil’s brood” were not known as the Plantagenets during their time. I am also disappointed that there is no mention of the Angevin Empire.

“Dan Jones makes history come alive. I love the way he tells a story while keeping in line with the known facts. After he is done with the Plantagenets I hope he goes on to another era of British history. I love medieval history, this series makes me wonder why anyone wouldn’t. Brilliant...”Read full review »

“All history podcasts should be like this. The way it is narrated plays like a non fiction thriller while also being historically accurate. I just discovered it in the middle of season 3. I binge listened to seasons 1,2 and 3. I Couldn’t stop listening. Waiting for season four has been rough. Lol ...”Read full review »
