  • 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.

  • A shell of its former self

    This show has gone off on a weird tangent, far from where it started. Not really a history podcast anymore. More of a social commentary, mostly of race, ethnicity and gender. I listen to old episodes, but anything from the last year or so is uninteresting and unlistenable.

  • Poorly edited

    The topics are interesting. But when I hear the episode, a lot of unnecessary words and meaningless questions during interview. It makes the audience feel impatient. Much of the content can be cutdown to make it more appealing.
