  • Too stupid to believe

    These sister suckers have obviously never been near Tibet. First episode I played. I don’t need to hear anything else as idiots running their mouths is a dime a dozen these days. Wankers.

  • Well researched and only mildly abusive.

    So much value here I decided to start paying for it. I needed to delete another podcast to stay in budget (sorry Ray).

    Each hour is filled with well researched and humorously delivered content. It makes me question the history I learned and lived. I appreciate the Cam’s opinions despite the fact that they can challenge my own. That’s what makes it great.

    Do care on.

  • History taught right

    Having learnt about the cold war many years ago in school, it had been a while since I brushed up on my history. The education system tends to tell events with a pretty heavy bias towards the west and so it was refreshing to listen to Cam and Ray (mostly Cam) discuss the events that took place whilst taking into account both perspectives. If you're looking for a history podcast that goes into incredible depth with a good amount of crude humour this is the podcast for you.

  • Informative, Problematic and Fun

    Historical details are handled seriously and critically, but presentation is done in a seemingly casual manner. As someone that doesn’t have a lot of time to read even more

    history works, this is the perfect way of spending leisure time without feeling guilty.
