The sidekick is ignorant, disruptive, and annoying! If Rachel needs a supportive companion please pair up with a better informed person that can ask interesting questions or add contextual content.

Rachel is doing a good job. She has a good voice and speed and has done some good writing on these historical women. Kat needs to go. I’m not sure why she is there. She drags the podcast down to a grade school level. Her interjections are childish, foul and distracting. I see that this is a common criticism of this podcast. I don’t think I will follow it but there is some women she is going to talk about that I am interested in. This could be a good informative serious history podcast but right now it’s just a crass, foul giggle fest.

The research is mediocre and read like a script, with Kat’s constant F bombs and inarticulate interjections, it become a tedious endeavor. That’s a shame because the subject matter is interesting and could be delivered in a more colorful and engaging manner. It is presented more like a grade school book report, read before a heckling classroom of imbeciles (Kat). Save yourself and read the Wikipedia page instead. Maybe they improve with time and experience, but I don’t have that kind of time to invest.

i really liked rachel and find her research to be thorough, but kat's constant interjections with thoughtless and unfunny commentary makes for a hard listen. at least make more relevant and entertaining jokes if you're going to make them at all, it just comes across as anxious and juvenile.

I really love the banter, and it’s really helpful that they provide excellent references. I especially love the historical context that helps understand what other events were happening in the time period. Keep up the great podcast!

I love hearing about these interesting damsels from these two friends They are witty, engaging and smart. I highly recommend listening and joining

Perfect topics, great history, wonderful banter between hosts, and SOOO detailed!!

I really wanted to like this, but the co-host interruptions make it hard to listen. I was listing to an older episode, so maybe they found their flow.

The main host is great with her research and I tried to focus on her and ignore the other host. It became impossible with her constant childish giggling and non stop interruption throughout. Go solo!

Let’s start off saying this, I have never really been interested in podcasts but Difficult Damsels is now one that I listen to everyone a new episode comes out! I love the banter and the subjects that Rachel and Kat have. Highly recommend if you want to laugh and learn!

I love the different energy you guys have. You both bounce off each other really well. Learning about that white ship tragedy and how so many heirs of England were lost that night was supper interesting. The thought of how history could have been different had that not happened is mind blowing. And the fact that Steven of blah was suppose to be on that ship but couldn’t handle the partying is priceless. Racheals hatred of Steven of Blah 😂 it would be fantastic if you guys could go more into the personalities of some of the people you mentioned. Love this podcast.
