  • Ads for daysssss

    I listen to lots of podcasts. I understand why we have ads. This is someone's job and they need to earn money and I love that for them. But when the length of ads is longer than the actual content the show?! An 8 minute story is now a 30 min podcast and I can't deal with

  • Decent show, obscene amount of advertising

    Seems like half of each episode is commercials.

  • ½ of each episode is advertising

    Interesting stories but not worth the time because of so much time devoted to advertising.

  • More advertising than history

    History was ok, but constant ad brakes make this podcast unlistenable

  • Too many commercials

    I really enjoy the show, but all episodes are about half commercials. So 15 minutes show can have around 7 minutes advertisement breaks.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Saturday Matinee: Government that Doesn't Suck
Q: Why is it important for citizens to understand the rules of government?
Because understanding the rules enables accountability, informed participation, and the ability to influence how the government functions rather than assuming it will work itself out.
Saturday Matinee: Government that Doesn't Suck
Q: When is the first time you remember reading the Constitution?
Greg recalls reading the Constitution in Southern California roots, with a mother who emphasized civics, which contrasts with many who never engage with the rulebook until later in life.
Saturday Matinee: In Pursuit
Q: What moment best encapsulates Washington's approach to power?
Washington's resignation of his commission in 1783 showcased his commitment to civilian rule over personal power, a lasting symbol of how leaders should place republic interests above personal authority.
Saturday Matinee: What We Did Before
Q: In fact, your paper is titled The Unburied Dead. Can you tell me about the research that you've been doing?
The research centers on the Bronze Age in the Central European Carpathian Basin, focusing on mortuary practices across a wide landscape. We're uncovering numerous sites with unusual burial treatments, using new methods like histotephonomy and CT scans to infer whether bones were exposed, moved, or deliberately altered after death, which points to complex ritual behavior beyond straightforward burials.
Saturday Matinee: European Christmas Markets Tour!
Q: Will, what is the European Christmas market? What's going on here?
Will explains the tour as a 10-day journey through historically rich cities in France, Germany, and Austria, focusing on Christmas markets and accompanying historical sites with opportunities to meet local historians.
