- Just stick to actual history, please
The actual history part of this podcast is great. I only gave four starts instead of five because of the woketard land acknowledgments at the end of every episode and the one super-cringe episode on the Cataline Conspiracy where they try to draw a comparison to American politics. That episode was trash, and the numerous basic factual errors on American politics and political events should embarrass everyone involved.

I cannot do it anymore. I cannot sit through another episode of this podcast as it continues to try and change how we, in the Anglosphere, due to being predominately Christian for a millennia, say whether something happened before or after Christ’s birth.
Academics seem to think calling it “Before Common Era” is a clever way to drive their modern, atheist/agnostic view on the world without going whole hog, I.e. changing the entire calendar. “BCE is near to what we say normally, so what differ... more
