Not worth wading through the ads and unpredictably unavailable episodes

Quality content when it’s there

Opened up a whole world for me!

Thanks to Tom for this wonderful podcast. British history is complicated (especially for us Yanks!) and Tom has given me an expedient way to break down this extraordinary past. Cheers!

Great pod

Downloading 3 or 4 at a time to listen to and stare at a wall. If Aelfric were my homie i would chop his head off.

Please offer ad-free

This is a wonderfully researched and organized podcast. The ads however are many and awkwardly placed within the episode.

Getting better with each episode

Tom’s cadence and delivery has proven to be quite exceptional and delivering find detailed accounts of various times of history during the Anglo-Saxon. Period well on certain topics he uses a wide brush, for the most part he uses a finer brush to help flesh out details

Obnoxious Ads

Detailed and scholarly, but engaging

Rigorous, granular history that’s very interesting, not tedious.

A must for people interested in English history

Well done. Shed’s light on this critical period. Authoritative. Presentation is simple and straightforward, but well organized and chronologically cohesive.

Great history podcast

We’re so fortunate for the proliferation of excellent podcasts of the history of the British Isles. This one is essential for anyone who wants to understand the roots of English culture during the so-called Dark Ages. Well done!!

Fangirling

If this time period is your jam this podcast is for you. Well written and presented with a calm cadence. As another reviewer also said; 20 min episodes are ideal

Engaging and informative

A valuable resource as it breaks down a topic that can be daunting into clear sections. I look forward to this podcast every week and have learned so much.

Very Worthwhile!

As an American Anglophile, I have long relished both "The British History Podcast" and "The History of England Podcast." Recently, David Crowther, the brilliant host of the latter, recommended this podcast, and I am so glad he did. "Anglo-Saxon England" is clear, detailed, and enjoyable. I highly recommend it!
