I really like the concept of this podcast. I think it’s great that someone young has the initiative to do this podcast and has an interest in showcasing lesser known women throughout history. However, I don’t like some of the earlier episodes, especially the Jaquetta of Luxembourg episode with her friend on the show, it takes away from the content. I feel like I’m listening to teenage girls getting distracted, day drinking, and talking about history class and it makes me not want to listen to any more episodes. You can still present the podcast in a different way and still keep it interesting and appealing to people of all ages.

I recently, for lack of a better word, stumbled, across this podcast and I think it’s great! I absolutely love this genre. Ayden is refreshing and surprisingly well spoken given the fact that she was, 18 years old at the time of the start of this podcast. The only “critique” I have has to do with the “Sacawaegea” episode, (I’m sure I misspelled her name and I am terribly sorry!) where Ayden was talking about the various Indigenous Peoples and I’m pretty sure she was talking about The Sioux Nation, however, she didn’t make the “x” silent . Other than that, Ayden is a very entertaining character and I am looking forward to listening to more episodes. I started listening from oldest to newest, so I’m just getting started! BRAVO Ayden! You’re an inspiration to young people everywhere! Keep up the good work! Respectfully, Traci Pointes Johnson…..aka, “Spaci Pointless”

This podcast is a perfect opportunity for you to grow as a person. Please stop cursing and using baby or little kids voices. I’m sure that this comes from possibly being nervous but it distracts from the information that you are sharing. It’s unfortunate that my daughter and her girlfriend are unable listen to you for their homework due to the cursing! It makes you sound ignorant. You’re not!! The information you have to share is great and I can tell that you put in a good deal of time putting together your pod. Good luck for the future but it’s time to grow up! 🤗💜🙌🏻

Addy is doing a great job of showcasing the history of lesser known other half of the population, women. Through amazing humor, coca-cola breaks, fantastic laughter, we learn about these important women in history. Keep on rocking and showcasing the wonderful (and sometimes not so wonderful) women in history!

I liked most episodes I have watched but got to the Catherine de Medici episode wherein she’s doing a FaceTime call with her friend pretending this is a guest adding something to the podcast but actually keeps having little side convos about nothing when we can’t even hear the other side of her he conversation

I love history podcast and this is now a new favourite of mine. The research is done very well and I love the way it’s presented. It’s comprehensive and fun! Would definitely recommend this show to anyone else who loves history and wants a bit of empowerment!

An obviously talented & passionate researcher! Love the energy too♥️

Long May She Reign is a killer concept for a podcast, focusing on the historical figures that so often were left out of teachings from our youth (and some who weren’t). I thoroughly enjoyed diving into this podcast and learning new things, as I love to learn while commuting or listening. Good voice for a host and excellent content. You can tell a lot of time, effort, and passion was put into this project, and I can’t wait to hear more as time goes on.

This show is just fantastic! A great balance of information and fun. The host obviously has passion sharing her knowledge of these historic women, and listening other is just a joy. The educational element is the cherry on top!

I've loved hearing about the passion of the author when talking about women's stories. I learned a lot when listening, and hope to keep hearing more new ideas and takes on these women.

I listened to two episodes (Grace O'Malley and Matilda of Flanders). It was great to hear about two women I knew absolutely nothing about before. Ayden has lots of enthusiasm, lots of detail, and plenty of jokes! Comes with a swear warning, but she's totally upfront about that from the beginning.

I listened to the episode on Isabel I of Castile - it was so much fun to listen to!

It is such an admirable undertaking to explore the lives of women in history. This show is not overly produced or loaded with sound effects. It’s just Ayden sharing her passion and her knowledge. I very much appreciate her shedding light on things I did not know, and putting women center stage.

I listen to a lot of historical/biography type podcasts and this one is a new favorite.

This podcast blew me away. It was well researched, but presented in a way that felt like I was listening to the E! News of medieval times. (Overheard on ep. 1: “They say he was very handsome, but I saw the portraits and... he ain’t it, sis!”) Laughed and cried listening to the Elizabeth of York episode. I think she would be quite honored to hear you tell her story in the way that you have! I hope you have a chance someday to see her Lady Chapel in Westminster, a dedicated resting place for her and Henry, built by Henry. She is in that room in every sense of the word, and it is stunning. Thank you for this podcast!! I hope you never stop! I cannot wait to listen to the rest.

I have absolutely loved following along with how thus show and host have progressed! She does a great job at bringing women into discussion that sometimes many may not know much about! I look forward to listening to more episodes but this season was a treat with the Frida Kahlo episode being my very favorite!
