  • Anything narrated…

    ..by these two is going to be incredible. But I have a paid membership, why the ads? Especially the ever annoying SHOPIFY. Losing a star for that.

  • One of my favorite history podcasts

    I like the length of each episode. I enjoy the narration-style as well as the host’s voice/delivery. I’ve heard some things I’ve never heard before and I’ve heard things that I may have heard multiple times, but I still enjoy the version that this host is sharing and feel it is time well spent.
