I watched the whole series before finding out about this podcast. Went back to start it over episode by episode so I could hear what Mary and Blake had to say. I fell in love with their Outlander podcast first (they are the only reason I love podcasts now!).
Their insight is always interesting and fun to hear. They always bring to light things I failed to see or catch on to.

Even though I didn’t agree with every take, I LOVED listening. Honestly, I had already watched the show, but decided to rewatch when I found this podcast so I could feel like I was in a community! I’ll definitely be watching other things from Mary and Blake media. PS please keep giving every character nicknames- way too many Ethel’s 😂

My son told me to watch The Last Kingdom. It’s not usually my type of show. Your podcast helps me understand what’s going on in The Last Kingdom! I’m like Mary and am lost on the names and sometimes even the plot. But after listening to the podcast, it clears it all up for me. I am really enjoying it. I’m a long time listener of all your other podcasts!

🛡I found this podcast when I started Last Kingdom a couple months ago, and quickly couldn’t wait to watch an episode so I could hear Mary and Blake’s take on what happened. I’ve now started rewatching both Outlander and Bridgerton to listen back to all those amazing episodes. So glad I found these two and their media of podcasts. It’s like listening to two friends keep me company while I work each day!

Fun podcast but…Blake has some great insights into the Last Kingdom episodes. Too bad they condensed the second half of season 4 so they could be ready for the release of season 5 and then only did one episode of the last season of TLK. Why not finish???? Very disappointing!
