United Kingdoma month ago - Wonderful, intelligent discussion
I stumbled upon this podcast while looking to learn more about Michael Mann’s “The Last of the Mohicans.” I’ve listened to several podcasts on this topic - a number by Americans - and this is the only one in which any of the speakers had read the book! Love the witty and knowledgable commentary and the funny “award” categories.

I started with “Where ... more
