  • Too Woke

    Started out as a great diverse look at American history at the time of BF. In the last year it has become predominantly a show on black history in America.

  • Slavery in CA

    Just dipped into this podcast here. I would love to hear a source cited. This episode is akin to the narrative of the genius white man saving the crude savages. It’s just going as silly in the other direction. A few facts are thrown in. Bummer. I am a bit of a history nut and was hoping for a good informative new pod to binge!! Pretty irresponsible story telling.

  • Turn Your Dearth of Information to a Plethora

    This show does exactly what it promises - puts you in the rough timeframe that Ben Franklin would have lived in, and tells you what life is really like. It accomplishes it through discussions with authors with detailed knowledge of a very specific topic. Loved the History of Maine, Race in New Orleans, Hessians, and Texas in Spanish Empire. Liz asks soid questions and keeps the show moving well.

  • Odd style

    I’ve listened to a few of these and the topics are interesting but the guests are practically lecturing ad nauseum rather than having a conversation with the host. I find this style harder to follow than a more conversational approach.

  • Wonderful Guests, Deeply Informative

    Each succeeding episode seems like the best one I’ve listened to yet. I only “discovered” BFW some 43 podcasts ago but your format is eminently “binge-able.” Super guest list. I want to matriculate with a major in American History all over again.
