I was so excited for this podcast as soon as I heard the news and let me tell you as we end the final chapter of season five I am still just as excited every time I find a new episode has been released. Becoming a subscriber is worth the small subscription fee as well! So interesting and fun listening to Dan and producer Georgia rehash the episodes and Georgia always has great questions to ask Dan that help us understand the story even more. As we waited for season five we were treated with “The Iron King” by the Five Minute Medievalist, Danièle Cybulskie. Dan and Danièle both are masters at story telling and are easy to listen to for hours. What is also nice is you can tell you can trust that they will give their honest opinions on the facts/fiction which revolve around so many stories from the past. I am looking forward to Dan’s interview with Helen Castor coming up, woo! Thank you to everyone at Sony who have worked to bring this podcast these fascinating stories to life for us!

It’s interesting, extremely well researched, and a lot of fun. Have loved every episode- even the one where someone gets his skull pummeled. Absolutely terrific podcast.

Dan is a wonderful teacher and it’s clear he really knows his stuff! He is an amazing storyteller. He can take a few dates, names and a chronicle, enrich it with context and provide me with an entertaining way to learn the real history of the Plantagenet dynasty. He's a joy to listen to! This is my new favorite way to learn! More podcasts please!

I am completely obsessed with your podcast Dan ! I binged all five seasons and now starting the PLUS episodes ! You have a great way of enveloping the listener into the story and not just reading facts like some other historical podcasts (and also make it funny) - I absolutely love it !
