Really, just an excellent podcast with so many fascinating subjects, even better than In Our Time in that respect.

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.
