This podcast is well-explained and very accessible. Very good narrator, who becomes increasingly professional as the episodes progress. I recommend these podcasts to anyone with an interest in the period.

Very interesting podcast on the Anglo-Saxon period

Clearly presented with appropriate use and explanation of relevant examples and vocabulary. Presenter is obviously a history nerd... which is a good thing. I could live without the adverts, but then I guess we'd have to pay for the podcast.

Highly detailed and knowledgeable

I really liked the detailed presentation of AS history. The author is really knowledgeable and I found out lost of interesting things, especially about early AS history.

Really interesting podcast on Anglo Saxon history!
