  • Big fan

    Been listening for awhile now. I love history pods so I can compare in the genre but I also have a history degree and write narrative history novels. This is probably my favorite podcast — good history AND good narrative. While the pronunciation is sometimes amusing, the storytelling and tight focus while providing a nice background skim is always a pleasure. Thank you, Elliot!

  • Political Views

    Interesting stories of history but need to leave out your modern day views of politics. They seem flawed and misinformed.
