Love the hosts' willingness to discuss historiography as well as history
I wish each program lasted longer and went deeper into their analysis of an era.
She has the most annoying voice, accent and way of speaking! I need to take a break from this podcast until they get someone else. These days I only listen to the show when she not in it.
