  • Pure leftest narrative garbage! I hate listened to this travesty for 8 terrible episodes. I expected far more from Noiser. Will be very skeptical with future Noiser content

  • Complete woke drivel

    The very first aspect of the show is about slavery. First, most things accomplished weren’t dependant on slavery, that’s false. Also, no mention of native populations history of slavery of their own and of African slaves.

    4% of the slaves from Africa came to America, 4%.

    This is a tired topic and to have it being first and foremost in a series about the “Founding Fathers” is embarrassing. Avoid this show.

  • Good content bad edit

    Good content but the edit leaves something to be desired - lots and lots of random stretches of dead air between bursts of narration

  • Phenomenal

    Unfortunately, the same people who eat up fear-mongering political propaganda evidently think that the founding of our country looked like a Saturday morning cartoon. Maybe it’s the lack of aptitude for complex thought. Great podcast.
