    Hi Robin, I am signed up for the Fall 2020 Istanbul tour. Is there a way to communicate with you not on this site?

    I like to provide feedback when I feel like it would truly be helpful. This was a great episode from an informational standpoint. The delivery unfortunately made it almost impossible to listen to. I would really like to hear more from Sharyn, but she needs to work on her upnotes. It’s like listening to a very long security briefing at the beginning of a flight. I hope that after further practice she can better modulate and reach a more conversational cadence.

      Ashley, I too had a similar reaction to Sharyn’s delivery style when I first listened to this guest episode. Fast forward two years, and I have listened to Sharyn’s Reconquista podcast (57 episodes to date). I quickly got accustomed to her style. More importantly, Sharyn does a very nice job of presenting the history in an organized and comprehensible manner. For me, she includes just the right amount of detail. When the story is complicated (multiple moving parts), she does a nice job of reminding the listener who is who (or which Alphonso is which). I now have a decent understanding of the first four hundred years of Al-Andalus. I wish that I had this background when I visited uber-cool Medieval Toledo in 1991.
