The Con-Versailles-Tions podcast is a delightful gift for fans of the television show Versailles. It offers an insider's perspective and a unique opportunity to hear from the actors themselves, particularly Philippe/Alex, who is a fan-favorite character. The podcast provides an interesting idea by taking the audience behind the scenes of such a historically-rich and visually stunning series.
One of the best aspects of The Con-Versailles-Tions podcast is that it allows fans to connect with their favorite actors on a more personal level. Hearing their thoughts, experiences, and insights into the show brings a new appreciation for their talent and dedication. The hosts create a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes listeners feel like they are part of the conversation, creating an intimate experience that fans will surely enjoy.
Additionally, this podcast serves as a wonderful platform for true fans of Versailles. It gives them something extra to dive into after watching all three seasons of the show.

The dedication shown by Philippe/Alex in creating this podcast demonstrates his love for both the show and its loyal fanbase.
While it is difficult to find any major flaws in The Con-Versailles-Tions podcast, one minor aspect that could be improved upon is its release schedule. As a fan eagerly waiting for each episode, it would be even more exciting if episodes were released more frequently or consistently. However, this is only a minor critique, as overall, the quality and content provided in each episode make up for any waiting time.
In conclusion, The Con-Versailles-Tions podcast is a fantastic addition to the Versailles fandom.
