  • By far my favorite podcast! Excellent work Adam

    Fantastic podcast, incredibly well-researched. Adam has nice clear voice which makes for an engaging delivery, never dry or dull. I have found nothing else quite comparable! I originally discovered Experimental History on Substack (where seemingly all the good podcasters lurk!)
