In this preview, we learn how Elizabeth’s ambitious spirit was unmistakable early in life. The relationship with her parents and the push into the glamour and prestige of Hollywood collided with the reality of a male-dominated business – one that was more interested in making Taylor a product, than the person she knew herself to be. Headline News says ‘I love Elizabeth the First’ and the Toronto Star says the podcast is ‘sumptuously produced’.

Jumbled and distorted storytelling. Narrator was the wrong choice. I never knew a monotone voice could be distracting. I had to stop listening. Too bad bc it would have been a good story.

Storytelling skills could use some honing... Complicated plots require a deft hand; this one feels both jumbled and repetitive.
