  • A fascinating historical deep dive

    Here in the U.S. we learn essentially nothing in school about Australia and I felt I had a lot of gaps in my historical knowledge about this part of the world. This podcast has been extremely informative, well-researched, and entertaining and has taught me so much. Thank you!

    We have a family trip across the world to Australia this spring and I began listening to this podcast while working out in preparation. The host does a fantastic job and provides the perfect amount of detail while still placing it in the larger context. He also does a great job of describing competing theories in various areas. Thanks for providing this amazing and valuable resource! Looking forward to visiting your fascinating country/continent in person soon!
