The production quality is outstanding, Dan, and much higher than any other history podcasts to which I've listened. The story is not only engaging, the sound effects and music make it 'pop'. I can't say I learned anything 'new' but the old story was entirely entertaining. Well done for excelling at another media!
Fantastic first episode! I listened to it walking to and from work. The Plantagenets are also my favourite medieval family and I love that you have devoted this series to them. I can't wait for the next episode!
Excellent, informative and entertaining podcasts. Saw Dan Jones at the recent Oxford Literary Festival and I am now thoroughly enjoying his new novel "Essex Dogs". My wife and I have been very interested in Eleanor of Aquitaine and would be very pleased if Dan were to expand on her story in some future podcasts.
I am a huge fan of British history. Until now my knowledge of the Plantagenets has been based on two movies, ‘Becket,’ and ‘A Lion in Winter.’ I look forward to learning more!

I shall listen to this while cleaning the bathroom. It's becoming a bit of a tradition to clean the bathroom while listening to Dan.
I do this every Sunday too!
Eleanor of Aquitane is a badass! Im normally a Tudor gal, but she is such a mystery!

I paid for the upgraded subscription in late January and to date have received nothing but requests to upgrade. Please advise. Thank you.
You're an incredible teacher. Love the way you explain things!
Just found this and episodes 1 to 4 set the scene nicely.
Great podcast - bringing mediaeval history to life!
This has become my favorite podcast and I’m so sad I’ve finished the last episode. Please tell us there will be a a season 2!
Thoroughly enjoying this wonderful series but can't get past episode 18 ..... not easy to find out if I'm up to date or there is more to come.
Re: episode 6, “Meltdown”:
John History wants a psychiatric deep dive done on HenryII. Seems that guy had his own personality disorders/diagnosis.
The anecdote about him, Beckett, and the coat is not normal behavior.
Altogether an interesting show! Nice diversion for the whole family on road trips.
These are brilliant. I always feel each episode finishes too soon, so I’m glad for the bonus episodes too 😁

Listened to episodes 1 and 2 yesterday and then immediately listened to them again. Now I'm grumbling in my coffee about having to wait for more. 😂
Does anyone know if the special episodes can be found on Spotify?? I'm a subscriber there.
