Customer Reviews
New episodes?
Really enjoying the podcast! I only discovered it recently, and have gone back to the start to listen from the beginning. I was so happy to hear the interview with Mackenzie Crook about Sutton Hoo since Detectorists in one of my favorite series! I’m just hoping that new episodes will start coming out again by the time I get all caught up 😅🤞
Fantastic podcast with great guests!
Rebecca is a wonderful host and the guests are just spot on. I'm absoltuely addicted and have put my other podcasts to one side while I binge Killing Time. I follow Rebecca on social media and devoured her book "1666 : plague, war, and hellfire" (highly recommend). I only wish I could attend HistFest, but I'm stuck here in Florida. So many stars!
Twitter pays off
Just joined twitter to connect with historians. This podcast popped up and I am so glad it did. In today’s negativity, this podcast is a wonderful breath of fresh air combined with intelligent conversation.
