I really wanted to like this podcast because I love medieval history, however the narrator drones on and on. He rarely changes the pitch, pace or volume of his voice, dragging down a fascinating subject into a monotonous and boring listen best employed when one needs to fall asleep. Do not drive while listening!

Great podcast for a good night's sleep
