Each week, we begin with a mystery item and with the help of English Heritage experts and special guests, Amy explores what our past can tell us about our present and perhaps our future.

Quality of tone dropped

chubwolf•5/25/2026

When Charles Rowe left I stuck with it for a few episodes but the quality of the content dropped. There are more history podcasts out there. Unless there is a particularly interesting topic I’ll listen to one of them

Bring back Charles Rowe!

Please! Bring back Charles Rowe! He was excellent! This girl you have now is pitiful! Your podcast has gone BAD!

Stopped listening

AliceNichol•12/4/2025

Not sure what audience this is aimed at but it is no longer me. Just tell the interesting scholarly stories. No need to oversell it. To say I miss the old podcast is a major understatement.

Don’t like the new format

SS9870•9/15/2025

As others have said, I hardly listen to the show anymore. Charles Rowe and the scholarly yet conversational tone of the old episodes was more compelling. The new conceit of having the host seem clueless and making the subject matter light and silly isn’t very interesting.

Terrible since host and format changes

Cjoyful18•9/5/2025

This used to be my favorite podcast, and now I never listen to it anymore. The choices that English Heritage made when changing this podcast are baffling…Charles Rowe was a vastly superior host. The topics have become dull and/or frivolous, and the coverage lacks the depth that it used to have. What a disappointment!
