Issues with the recording around 41 mins in. Sounds like two edits are overlapping. The guest is speaking and Matt is asking a new question.
Audio for so many episodes involving guests like this is awful. Very tinny and hard to understand. Leaves my ears ringing, and I can't distinguish sixty percent of what the guest says, even when I turn up the volume. No volume balance between host and speaker.
Sound on these episodes re: Henry VII was awful. Hard to make out most of what the guest was saying. The guest was clearly an Elvis-type fanboy of Henry Tudor, who was no saint. I can give the guy credit for a lot of things, but make no mistake. He was a tyrant. He set the model of absolute kingship that his son would follow to its logical conclusion in all kinds of abuses. There were very good reasons why many people rejoiced when he died.
My favorite pseudo medieval film is the 13th Warrior. I thought The Return of Martin Guerre was medieval but just learned it took place in the 15th century (but I could totally see this as a medieval story). Thanks for another great podcast.
A fascinating history lesson about the Normans. It should also remind us how temporary power is. In less than 100 years Norman rule in England was over and an English king again ruled the country, King Henry II in 1154. For a while the English ruled Normandy, but in 1259, Henry III ceded control to France. All that bloodshed and back to square one.
absolutely fascinating
Counterpoint: I think the American woman is childish and brilliant. Imagine not having fun.
Who are these two? the American woman is extremely childish and annoying.
What a trashy episode. They were mostly judging people from 700 years ago by present standards. I would have liked a bit more nuance and some more In formation on the idea of overlordship. I get that they try to make history accessible, but their choice of language was like being in a primary school playground.

I miss Cat. Could we trade Matt for Cat and have Cat and Nora cast? Sorry Matt. 🤷🏻♂️
This was fascinating. I went to Tahiti in March 2022. I toured the interior of the island with a Polynesian tour guide. At one point, we stopped a small river and he fed the eels there. Eels are sacred on that island and are protected. There were many (hundred or so) and were huge on that river.
Say what ya will about Christianity. It did a solid for leapers.
I watched doco. It was never going to be unbiased; Philippa Langley is a Richard acolyte. She admitted at the very start that she believes Richard III was innocent. No evidence provided that the 500+ year old documents were not written by imposters claiming to be Edward or Richard. Example (a) receipts for the 400 pikes, Margaret of Burgandy may have been supporting a fraud. (b) The "diary" of Prince Richard, easily could be fake. DNA test of bones found in Tower needed, so start lobbying King!
A thinly veiled diatribe against modern politics/political figures that the guest vehemently dislikes, interspersed with some history relating to the Hapsburgs. I might have agreed with a guest on a political podcast sharing the similar views but listening to amateur rantings from someone who sounds like he relishes sounding bitter is quite nauseating, especially when he seems to think he's being ironically humourous. Shame, the subject seemed interesting, but I didn't last 'til the end.
Much too much gender propaganda. Too many of these episodes focus on relatively unimportant women or women's issues like clothing etc. But when they break away from this it's a good series.
So glad to hear an episode about Emma!
I'm so happy to see Eleanor joining Matt on here! and Kate on this episode is just the cherry on top 🤣
Awful barely listenable yank guest wearing political views way too easily on sleeve
This is surely one of the most futile discussions ever held on a podcast. The Adam and Eve story isn't true! Who cares how "scholars" over the years interpreted it; they are all wrong. The story is childlike and is an early example of misogyny. The real universe origin is far more fascinating, and we are only the third generation of humanity to have understood it. Enjoy the privilege!
