    Princes in the Tower
    Always a pleasure to hear Matt Lewis talk… But since this was recorded before Philippa Langley’s documentary on the new evidence for the boy’s survival, might have nice to have a disclaimer about that

    Absolutely tremendous!
    I found the podcast searching for James Holland and I have literally listened to the entire series since. As an American I’ve been fascinated to hear so many subjects that aren’t discussed here. I enjoy that there’s such a diverse range of tube that are covered and done so with great humor included. Could not recommend the podcast enough. Thank you for all the work it takes!

    Delightful and well needed!
    I came across History Rage from hearing Iwan Morus on You’re Dead to Me, which I also started recently, and looking for other interviews with him. WELL! I immediately fell in love with History Rage’s concept and execution. A direct kick in the bollocks to the contrarian dudebros who think counterintuitive automatically means true and that context is too messy and hard. The “Dark Ages” episode is a particular favorite. Thanks to all the guests aka proper historians who use crazy things like evidence and history.
