Love the main show but not the bonus episodes
In the main show I think that Dan is a brilliant storyteller and manages to not treat the audience as either clueless or as experts. The Plantagenets story is exciting and this really comes across in the podcast. I never pay for podcasts but enjoyed the main episodes so much I paid for the bonus ones too - however I wish that I didn’t. They feel like they’re aimed at children, the tone is completely different to the main episodes as it feels overly simplified and dumbed down. I feel like it’s a shame because the topics that are covered are super interesting! I would give the main show 5* and the bonus episodes 2*. I would definitely like to listen to more podcasts by Dan in the future if they’re like the main show and less like the bonus episodes.

I have always enjoyed Dan Jones’ books and videos. This podcast is a great short-form way for people to get into medieval history before maybe diving deeper. And even if you’ve learned a bit already, you’ll definitely learn more.
