Fascinating

Effortlessly learnt a lot of very interesting history. Interaction between presenters meant the episodes remained fresh. Looked forward to coming back for more

interesting and entertaining what's not to like

in our modern technology driven age it is very beneficial to connect with the past and realise that we aren't as bright as we thought and the value of ancient wisdom . Thought and hopefully habit privoking

Funny and Helpful

I really enjoyed this podcast. If you are looking for a less serious historical podcast this is the choice. It was funny and helpful, and I didn't expect it to be helpful.

I feel like a few more episodes would have been good and to hear more from Jules, the historical expert.

Quite entertaining

It was quite fun and entertaining but not the best podcast on audible, won't be coming back to this one. But it certainly made chores more pleasant.
