Intriguing & interesting

Anyone who's a fan of Downton Abbey knows the work it takes to run a great place but this podcast brought out more than I had ever thought about what it takes. It's so very interesting & I can't wait for the next episode. I love how the Duchess & her friends seem to be so down to earth & even funny. I've always wondered what it would be like to literally live among your predecessors (as paranormal phenomena) & try to fill their shoes while making it your own home as well. It must be so hard & thrilling. I love how relaxing it is hearing the Duchess's voice is. It has a calming & relaxing effect on me.

First Podcast

This is the first podcast I’ve listened to and I really enjoyed it. I’ve always enjoyed British history and to hear about these historic homes from the women who live there is a delightful glimpse into the past and the present. I enjoyed the interviewer and interviewee. They were charming.
