Saladin did more than his share o... more

Really disappointed how the hosts attempted to push a historian into their personal narrative rather than discuss actual history. Previously, I really enjoyed this podcast. However, now I don’t know what being presented is actually history and what is a manufactured narrative by a bullied historian.

I absolutely love the how the hosts cover history. While some seasons were better than others (some felt very random and shallow), I like the mix of history and laughs. I’d I had one critique, it is that they sometimes invite journalists who are not subject matter experts.
