love the show and the middle ages. my only complaint is that the shows need to be longer especially with two commercial breaks. they say so many times in interviews how they could talk for hours about a topic, just do it then! great show.

it would be quite nice except for what to me are the irritating to the point of distraction interventions of "umms" and "yesses" and that dreadful occasional host who seems to have missed their true calling of writing headlines for the newspapers one finds in the supermarket checkout lane.

Do NOT care for the new co-host. Very annoying voice and mannerisms.
