I'm reading The fall of giants by Ken Follett and i wanted to know more and have a little refresh of informations about ww1. It's nice to hear about us canadians and little known facts. I like it that you get straight to the point and tell us the history, other podcaster are kind of annoying and talking about their life and laughing instead of talking about the content i want to hear. I listened to your podcast all night long during my shift!
