As a man, I sometimes shy away from media involving "women's issues", fearing I'll be bored or out of touch. I'm a quite interested in history, though so the historical context of this piece dragged me in. It really made me think about what medieval women's lives must have really been like, which brought me outside my usual viewpoint not only from a gender standpoint, but from a distance of seven or eight centuries, too.
I think I'll actually give some of your other pieces a listen. The one about Queens Elizabeth and Victoria looked interesting...
