Lindsay is the best! I started off with her YouTube videos and now listen to her podcast. It honestly feels like learning about history from your favorite, cozy aunt.
catcamp123 · Oct 2024
An easy listen and every episode is so well researched.

I’ve been listening to History Tea Time YouTube videos while doing my housework. I am ecstatic to find the podcast so now I can take it with me in the car! Good information, such a great speaking tone & cadence, & sticks to the topic. No random 10 minute conversation about what hosts and/or guests did last week at a party that was only funny if you were there (yes it’s an oddly specific beef with podcasts but STILL). A wide variety of topics, not just limited to the US and/or Western Europe.
HillaryGayle · Jul 2023
Like others, I wanted to like this podcast. The voice is beyond difficult to listen to. Also, the lack of proper transitions between time periods, locations, and royals means every topic switch, listeners have to be a detective to figure out she is now talking about a new ruler. It is easy to add a transition to prompt listeners the subject is now switching.

The overall podcast is entertaining and well done but the author needs to work on her pronunciation of Turkish, Arabic, and Persian names and words. It is very jarring to hear names and proper nouns mispronounced over and over again throughout an episode. Importantly, the author is not sharing up to date information. In the Sultanate episodes, 1/3, she shares that Ibrahim marries Hatice, Sultan Suleiman’s sister. This was disproven over 10 years ago by historian Ebru Turan. Finally, if the author has crossover topics between one episode and another, she repeats word for word what was said in the initial episode instead of saying something new or different in the next one.
Oh and the author left a review of her own podcast to try and get her stars up.
