LaraS9cLow-key , gentle vibeI really enjoy this podcast. It’s low-key vibe is restful and calming, while still being intelligent and interesting. The varied range of topics means there’s something for everyone.

VazzaramaSuch an interesting PodcastAmerican here, posting a review on this podcast. I find the shows really interesting even as an American. I love when they present shows outside and you can hear footsteps crunching rocks, or the creaking sounds of the floorboards whilst conducting a show inside a building. I couldn’t complete my review without a shout out to Charles Rowe who does an amazing job asking questions and keeping great conversation with the many varied guests who are interviewed for the show. I’m a weekly listener and always look forward to the next show!

History readingsLesser known winter festivalsA brilliant podcast! Perhaps in another year connect these festivals with celebrations at English Heritage sites; if applicable. Please take up Michael’s idea of an entire podcast on Twelfth Night.
