I’ll leave you with this…
This is unquestionably the most engaging lecture series I’ve ever come across. Prof Blight is a master storyteller and you can’t help but be inspired by his passion and enthusiasm for the topic. The History comes alive. I binged this on a long road trip, and after finishing, I started it over again. I teared up a couple times! What kind of a podcast or college lecture does that?! This is treasure. Thank you, Yale. Thank you, Prof Blight.
