This podcast is well-explained and very accessible. Very good narrator, who becomes increasingly professional as the episodes progress. I recommend these podcasts to anyone with an interest in the period.

I really liked the detailed presentation of AS history. The author is really knowledgeable and I found out lost of interesting things, especially about early AS history.

Really interesting podcast on Anglo Saxon history!

Clearly presented with appropriate use and explanation of relevant examples and vocabulary. Presenter is obviously a history nerd... which is a good thing. I could live without the adverts, but then I guess we'd have to pay for the podcast.

Highly detailed and knowledgeable
