I'm sure the LLE crew are good in their place. But here they just sound like kids out of control compared to Tom's calm voice. A d that hysterical woman's high-pitched laugh? I'm sure there is some good content here; but I just skip these episodes because they are painful to endure listening to.

Bob is one of two guests whom I'm sure is a great person, but fits this show like a cow fits a glove. Compared to Tom's calm, leveled, reasoned voice, Bob's volume and seeming need for attention just grates a little.

The episode ends abruptly mid sentence, so you don't find out why the answer is what it is. 😠

The fun fact about loud and quiet water is a pun. In German the word for "uncarbonated" water can also mean "quiet". The counterpart "loud" water is a pun.

People in the medieval times didn't just stink all the time, check https://going-medieval.com/2019/08/02/i-assure-you-medieval-people-bathed/ . But yeah, they probably did stink at the end of a hundreds of kilometers walk. And I'm pretty sure the flowers at the end of a plague doctor's were to mask the stench of dead bodies, not BO.
