Charles Spencer and his girlfriend share ‘sad’ update as well-wishes pour in
Earl Charles Spencer and his girlfriend, Cat Jarman, have issued a statement following the final episode of their history podcast.
Charles took to Instagram to announce that the popular weekly podcast series will not be returning following a live finale at Althorp House last Friday.
Earl Spencer and Professor Jarman met in 2021 when Cat led a search for the remains of an ancient Roman villa on the grounds of Althorp estate, where Charles resides.
Princess Diana’s brother confirmed his relationship with podcast co-host Cat Jarman in October last year.
Alongside a photo of the three hosts, the Earl wrote: “Wednesday normally means a new episode of the Rabbit Hole Detectives is out – but @RevRichardColes @CatJarman & I signed off on this podcast with a final, live, sold out episode at @AlthorpHouse on Friday – as part of the Althorp Literary Festival.
“Sincere thanks to all of you who listened, around the world – including the listener who flew especially from Sydney to be in the audience of our last episode.
“It’s been a lot of fun – all 106 episodes of it; as well as the Rabbit Hole Book.”
The ‘Rabbit Hole Detectives’ podcast began on February 22, 2023, with episodes released weekly.
Viking archaeologist, Jarman, reacted to the news with a crying face emoji on her Instagram story, expressing her sadness on ending the project.
She also shared four pictures from the live show which aired on April 11.
Fans of the podcast reacted to the news in the Earls comment section.
One said: “I so miss the three of you and your wonderful chemistry. Wednesdays are just not the same. Will have to listen to all episodes again.
“Wishing you all the best”
Another added: “I’ve very much enjoyed RHD podcast the last several years on my drives to work. And I love the book. Thanks to all of you for your research and presentations , it was wonderful to listen and learn about things I never would have thought about otherwise. Best of luck on your future endeavors.”
A third wrote: “Thank you for bringing so much joy, laughter and light to us all. The three of you truly made my mornings and evenings during my time at university more bearable. Your weekly voices of laughter and overall brilliantness will be missed.”
A loyal listener said: “So sad you three are ending this – it really was a fantastic programme, and enabled me to face doing the most boring things whilst learning so much! Would love to see another project!”
The hosts recently posted a photo to mark the 100th episode of the podcast.
