Thorough and well-balanced

At about 1/4 of the way through the podcast to date, what stands out is the thoroughness and the effort to be “scholarly rigorous” without descending into just a list of names and dates. There are enormous gaps in the historical record of the Anglo-Saxon period, and this podcasts does a very good job of sticking to the facts and a reasonable interpretation of the facts while avoiding the temptation to fill in the gaps with speculation.
