    Made it clear
    There is someone who could take it farther. The police. You should put pressure on them.
  • Lmmjedimaster
    Loved it since its debut
    Ah, The Scandal Mongers Podcast. Always interesting, engaging, and thought-provoking. By turns fun and funny (hello Lady CC!), and at times enraging (Lord Mountbatten's [alleged] truly horrendous predatory behaviour) --always a terrific and informative listen. Keep up the brilliant work! ~LMS/Kirei Neko

    I look forward to every episode
    I’ve been listening to this podcast from the beginning and look forward to every episode. The episodes are an intriguing mix of history and studies of human nature. Phil is a charming host and a terrific interviewer.
  • w1ordie
    Loved Shauna podcast with you both.
    I listen to Shauna on you tube and always enjoy her calm straightforward approach. That is also exemplified on your podcast where you are able to calmly explain points of view. I would love to listen to a weekly conversation with Shauna. Thanks for intelligent conversation which is rare in these days.
  • Lilly101669
    Wonderfully Entertaining With Great Guests!
    Adore this podcast. They cover a wide breath of topics with a plethora of diverse and interesting guests. Interesting coverage of the Royals which is terrific! Highly recommend!!
  • B. Birdell
    Not too shanby
    Heard about the pod on andrew gold's 'heretics' podcast. I've subscribed in the hope it continues to be good.
  • Thisisafakenameftw
    Very informative
    I enjoy this podcast for the quality of the discussion. My new favorite podcast.
  • BjornEinarsson
    A fun show
    Great stories with great conversations. I really enjoy these guys.
  • Obdurate42
    A must listen!
    I absolutely love this podcast! These two guys are fantastic! I love listening to the vast array of subjects. I love history and this is right up my alley. I find the episodes regarding the various topics fascinating. The guests you’ve invited to discuss their books & experiences have been extremely interesting. Andrew & Phil are the best!! Please keep them coming.
  • textgoon
    Great podcast, peaky unblinders
    Peerless purveyors of the expose, I hope the Scandal Mongers will interview Norman Baker to get his take on the royal family. If a movement grows to end the monarchy how would that work? A referendum like Brexit? Would the royal family have lawyers to negotiate a settlement for them like in a divorce? Breaking up is hard to do.

    Diana 1 & 2
    So interesting… Thought I knew everything, but alas, I was wrong! Just love your podcast and I’m so glad I found it!
  • stpfrd
    Disappointing
    The first episode that I listened to was upsetting. The podcasters, who are older white British males, start off by denigrating Meghan Markle for being upset about the way that she was treated by the rf. It makes light of well documented racist comments, insinuating that she is a liar. This in an introduction to the podcast guest, an “aristocrat” who is an older white female, and happens to be a royal family apologist herself. She calls Meghan, who is of mixed race, a racist who made up a story about racism because she is racist. Seriously, this is disgusting and these podcasters are racist apologists.
  • JackieBlue555
    Better when they get away from the royals..,
    I enjoyed many episodes, but prefer almost anything to the royals coverage. The latest guest clearly has an axe to grind against Megan & Harry. I really don’t care, but I don’t think she adds any credible information - it really seems to be speculation on her part. I also think they tend to give coverage to some squirrely sources. You don’t have to give equal time to people that haven’t earned it. The guy claiming Diana was murdered was not believable. I liked the postal service and the Kennedy assassination episodes.
  • MJ Milano
    Everyone loves a scandal…
    But no one does it as elegantly as these two; snark free, fair and human. They sneak in some history lessons too.
  • brittanyg813
    5 ⭐️
    Great podcast. Always have such interesting guests. Keep it up. Brittany from Florida💗💗💗
  • kuaikuai
    Take with a grain of salt
    Decent guys but this IS scandal. Trust but verify
  • Cheekyminxlondon
    Baffoons
    Not worth your time. After 15 min, I have up. Bumbling baffoons & “Royal” reports too posh for themselves. No real reporting here.
  • amy01153226
    Episode 6
    I agree with a lot of what valentine Low is saying but he’s stumbling over his words and hemming and hawing so much that it’s hard for him to get a sentence out. Too bad, because he does make good points.
  • vgallert
    Highly recommend
    Journalists that ask the right questions exploring the various scandals with insight. I love the pragmatic approach- there’s no agenda except good old fashioned JOURNALISM. Refreshing!
  • royalty rules
    Fantastic!
    The podcast is insightful and provides new, fresh takes on historical moments. I particularly loved the most recent episode with Valentine Low
