I listen to this podcast every week! Don’t listen to what people says about the voice. It’s not about the voice, it’s about the content

I like the subject matter, but the sound is all over the place. The transitions are abrupt and when the commercials come on, the audio jumps to a crazy volume. And I know it’s just this one because I listen to podcasts regularly and don’t have that issue with any others. So it’s not my audio settings. Also her inflection and tone in which she presents information is monotone and also comes across as if you’re listening to someone condescendingly present information to you. The speed in which she is speaking and presenting the information is almost like she’s gossiping and trying to hurry up and spit out the info before someone overhears her. The presentation is a no for me.

Great narrative love this podcast. Voice inflection makes it very interesting. Thank you. Love the incredible information. I can tell a lot of research went into this podcast!

Love the content BUT podcasts are all about the voices and this one is too much! Producers - please find someone to work with her! Or perhaps she’s better suited for writing and someone else host. No one speaks like this!!! It’s grating and completely distracting!

I love this podcast!! I usually listen to it while cleaning, traveling or working. All the subjects are so interesting and I would love for there to be episodes on the history of certain types of art and culture, like the history of dance or theatre!! So good!

The topics and content are great, I find the episodes on the 1300-1600s especially interesting. I just think the host could add more personality to her narration, and not be so monotone. It almost sounds like an AI narrator. If that is changed, though, I’ll be happy to give a five-star review!

I enjoy Lindsay’s style of presenting history. She is usually the only speaker and I find when there is >1 speaker sometimes there is too much banter. Occasionally there is reference to the current political climate and/or affairs and I don’t like that because I listen to history podcasts to unwind & chill.

It’s really hard to listen to her. Who talks like this?? This is the problem, because videos help with visualization and podcasts are on the voice. Gotta step up your game here.. also, it feels like she’s using AI now to tell the stories and that’s a no go for me.

By far, my most favorite podcast in my saved list. A good variety of so many interesting topics on all things royal.

It would be better if it wasn’t woke.

Listening to The podcast is like trying to nit with spaghetti! Greking out 👍

Lindsay is the best! I started off with her YouTube videos and now listen to her podcast. It honestly feels like learning about history from your favorite, cozy aunt.

From YouTube to podcasts ❤️ I love every second.

Reading aloud in a sing-song voice is not my idea of a good podcast host.

Love it

Awesome voice! I love listening to podcast and love the YouTube channel!

This podcast is awesome It is so good much better then her YouTube Channel and your voice is so calming.

Like others, I wanted to like this podcast. The voice is beyond difficult to listen to. Also, the lack of proper transitions between time periods, locations, and royals means every topic switch, listeners have to be a detective to figure out she is now talking about a new ruler. It is easy to add a transition to prompt listeners the subject is now switching.

I’ve been a watcher of Lindsay’s YouTube channel and a listener of her podcast for a long while now, and I enjoy every upload of both!

Too bad because the topics are great but the voice is unbearable . It’s like she does it on purpose.

An easy listen and every episode is so well researched.

Get a new host and I may listen. Sorry but podcaster is cringe worthy

Was so excited to listen to this podcast, figured when I heard her promote it on other podcasts that she was pretending to be annoying for attention. But no, I can’t bear her condescending tone and pronouncements.

Super good topics I love your voice 💗

I so wanted to love this podcast. It was advertised on another history podcast I listen to. The topics seemed interesting. I can’t bear to listen. The readers cadence is so annoying. I’m so sorry because it seems well researched and interesting.

I enjoy the content of this podcast, but the way Lindsay speaks is so grating. It’s like a valley girl hosting a children’s show.

Can’t handle how she speaks. Sounds like she’s forcing to be proper & she’s speaking to kids. Some parts sounded fine. Will give another try but not till I think she might sound like a normal person talking to adults.

I love history, especially the look at history to get the facts straight without the spin, but I couldn’t make it 3 minutes listening to this podcast. The voice of the podcaster is atrocious as to how the accent (or whatever it’s called) at the ending of sentences. It reminds me of the movie clip from Loudermilk and Ron Livingston’s character having to deal with the annoying voice of the barista. If I didn’t know it, Lindsay must be the actress in that scene. Learn to talk without sounding like a teenage brat or a rich girl who doesn’t give a crap.

Such a great show. It made me laugh and it made me sad. I really enjoyed this show, very well researched. The details were great, a lot I wasn’t aware of. Looking forward to more shows.

Now I can binge Lindsey Holiday on YouTube and via podcasts! I think we can all agree that Lindsey Holiday is a national treasure!

I’ve been listening to History Tea Time YouTube videos while doing my housework. I am ecstatic to find the podcast so now I can take it with me in the car! Good information, such a great speaking tone & cadence, & sticks to the topic. No random 10 minute conversation about what hosts and/or guests did last week at a party that was only funny if you were there (yes it’s an oddly specific beef with podcasts but STILL). A wide variety of topics, not just limited to the US and/or Western Europe.

Apart from the voice, at this day and age I would expect a bit of care taken in the pronunciation of the names. Most egregious is the accent on the wrong syllable of the Medici family name. Actually Aphra Ben was equally atrocious, if not more so. It’s an English name, for god’s sake!

This could be a great podcast however the sing-song narration is aweful.

The overall podcast is entertaining and well done but the author needs to work on her pronunciation of Turkish, Arabic, and Persian names and words. It is very jarring to hear names and proper nouns mispronounced over and over again throughout an episode. Importantly, the author is not sharing up to date information. In the Sultanate episodes, 1/3, she shares that Ibrahim marries Hatice, Sultan Suleiman’s sister. This was disproven over 10 years ago by historian Ebru Turan. Finally, if the author has crossover topics between one episode and another, she repeats word for word what was said in the initial episode instead of saying something new or different in the next one. Oh and the author left a review of her own podcast to try and get her stars up.

The voice of this podcaster is the worst. She speaks in a childlike song-song rather than someone addressing adults. Her voice is monotone at a horrible high pitch. The clipped sentences and odd pauses make it difficult to listen to.

These are pretty lazily thrown together from her YouTube videos, with almost no regard to editing out, say, a reference to a painting we can’t see or repetition of info when several episodes are stitched together. A little more care would go a long way.

I love this podcast! The information is accurate, and her voice and cadence are very soothing-I’ve even started listening to her when I can’t sleep.

History tea time helped me learn somethings that I didn't know. I like your voice, Lindsey, My sister though, she hates the voice.sorry. She wrote this when l was asleep.

This is the best podcast I have ever listened to Lindsay helps me understand sooo much and I’m 11 I love how she talks about a lot of women’s history because my history teacher is only talking about men. She teaches about stuff I never know and don’t know my favorite is about Nzinga the African queen Thx sooo much Lindsay holiday (I think you have the best name)

The voice. I can’t handle it anymore. She’s invading my FAVORITE pods and I’m now getting past frustrated. That voice is worse than nails on a chalkboard. Please stop.

Absolutely LOVE this podcast. I don’t remember how I found you,think it was on the History Daily Podcast..maybe, but I’m so glad I did. I’ve always been interested in the royals but not enough to look into it myself. Your Podcast has answered so many questions I’ve wondered about them over the years. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. 5⭐️’s because it won’t let me give you 10!! Most definitely recommend!! Keep up the fantastic work!!

The information shared would have probably been okay, but the host’s voice holds an unnatural cadence and is distracting.

I was a viewer of the YouTube channel, and was hoping that this would be a more in-depth format, she did advertise as “updated versions of the channel”, however, this is just the video from her channel, with constant references to where a painting or photo was being talked about on YouTube Podcasts published after September of 2022 still mentioned Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles.

I’ve only ever heard ads for this podcast but aside from the poor imitation of Katrina Longworth, this podcast sounds dreadful.

1 out of ever 10 syllables sounds like a creaking floorboard. While I get that there is a market for “history” podcasts like this one—that don’t make you think, yet give you the illusion of learning something—the content is just too trivial/inconsequential to justify subjecting yourself to the unprofessional vocal delivery.

Very interesting facts, presented in an enjoyable manner 🙂

It’s bad enough that the host has a voice best suited for mimework, but that would have been fine if it has been contained to her own podcast. The fact that her screechy tones are now invading actual podcasts I listen to is just torture.

I love history and stumbled on this podcast which is giving history a fun and unique take. I’ve binging as much as possible

I love history since I was a kid I remember that I used to watch your videos when I was a kid but now I watch more and I can listen to it now!

Love it! I am a huge history lover
