  • Infodumping but make it a podcast

    I absolutely love this podcast! I love hearing other people’s hyper fixations and learning about history. Hearing the parallels between George III and current events (The Revolution Was Brewing) was WILD to hear!

  • History presented such a digestible and funny way!

    Tori is great at summarizing and explaining the points of the story and Gwenna’s commentary throughout is comedic gold without being too distracting either
