This was a great podcast, and with Megsit it’s a timely addition to North American podcasts. Would definitely listen again. Jen’s obsession is showing but to our benefit, thanks

It took me a couple minutes to realize that this podcast included Jen Gerson! Who knew she had this secret royal obsession. It was funny to hear the lack of f-bombs and also hear Jen hold back a bit on just how much she knows about Harry and Meghan. (I know from what I speak. I share the same hidden interest.) Interesting idea to do other content and nice to have a topic that was more light hearted than the Canadian political scene.

Really enjoyed this podcast. I have always been interested in the Royal Family but much more so since Harry and Meghan’s treachery (you can see where I stand on this!) I hope you’ll do more of these with Patricia Treble.

Excellent podcast. More talk of royals and symbols please! I too am appalled at the new Crown and Coat of Arms design. I hope the next government reverts backs to tradition.

I write to praise the idea of additional podcasts.

I started listening to this podcast but chose to give up about seven or eight minutes in: simply put, the subject of the Royals bores me to tears. That doesn't mean that you should not offer further podcasts; indeed, please continue to offer more and more (and further justify your much too cheap subscription price!). So, again, good on you for making this effort and I hope that you continue down this road; please, however, be aware that the Royals have a small audience. Put differently, whatever the size of the audience, I am not part of it.

My sense is that Megan Markle assumed that the celebrity of the Royal Family meant they operated by the same rules as the Hollywood celebrities and influencers she wanted to be. Then she found out that no matter how hard she played the publicity game, her status as a Royal was already at its peak and was only likely to decline. As for Harry, the poor dimwit thought marrying somebody used to celebrity would insulate her against what supposedly destroyed his mother. He didn’t realize that a lot of people in show business actually have an unhealthy craving for it.

Great podcast! Hope you make a follow up one in the future

On a 1 to 10 scale of why I give a hoot in hell about what Meg or Harry have to say, I think I'm at a negative 1000. They shat in their messkit a long time ago. Why bother to give them ANY air time?

Jen doesn’t like the Sussex’s. Understood. Let’s hope that critical focus moves to the Royals that count. Start with the heir apparent. And his wife. Who barely work
