  • Good length and pace

    My favorite podcast about biographies because no added political commentary is added (rare nowadays). Great voice, pronunciation, pace, and length of episodes.

    I have been looking for a biography podcast for a long time and this was just suggested to me. So far I have really enjoyed the Vermeer and Dickens episodes. The host has a nice voice and he includes a great episode web page if you want to see the art he referenced (Vermeer especially). Looking forward to hearing more!

  • Great delivery and keeps my attention

    Excellent show to have on in the background while working. Pretty amazing the professional job being done with a mic in a basement or garage. The biographies are tight and fast. Always interesting. Well researched and I appreciate the fact he notes sources. If I’m in the mood for that style, opposed to say the OI lectures.

    I think you’ll enjoy the series. As always, I’ll be sad after I’ve heard all episodes.
