  • Nerdy but accessible

    A great example of a history pod that is fun and sometimes funny without losing depth and critical edge on the intersection of messy human lives with ethics and politics. This professional historian approves!

  • Good gays on bad gays

    The hosts strike a great balance of history narrative and personal editorializing. I greatly enjoy that they don’t over sensationalize and mention the limitations of assigning a sexual identity to figures that lived before such concepts. That and their easy conversation with each other makes all of the episodes a fun and interesting listen.

  • No sense of proportion

    In the Andrew Cunanan episode, the hosts also branded Versace as a “somewhat bad gay” because of his wealth and his vulgar brand. Now weighing Versace against his murderer who was a sadistic narcissist is actually vulgar. There is no sense of proportion. Just this simplistic moralism.
