I like the narrative, the style of presentation and overall the reality of the show. just enough "dramatic" presentation along with clear concise information
This is possibly my favorite history podcast. The host has guest speakers who are experts on the topics. There’s no quoting from Wikipedia! Highly recommended.
A great recipe: history with a twist of conspiracy, a pinch of mystery. Loving it for an easy going listen towards relaxation, yet still well informed.
Extra bits of information on historical events that make the past more relevant to today.
