It’s amazing to listen to someone so confident, cocky and condescending as Markel who never practiced as a medical doctor and is really just another woke liberal historian. His crack pot theories of social distancing have been proven to not be based on any science.
I love this podcast!! I wish there were more episodes/seasons
I love this podcast but he does lean left. It’s really annoying. If you’re gonna talk politics then at least have both sides.
I really like the narrator and the way the story is told but is it intentional that so much of the content is repeated again halfway through the episode? I want to keep listening but who has time to hear the same thing twice in the same episode? Also, episode 1 of Deepwater Horizon appears to actually be the content of episode 2 so Episode 2 is the same content.
This podcast is unbelievably well done. It’s informative and great storytelling. Could not be better!
