    Upping from 4 to 5 stars because I really enjoy the exploration of mythology in the recent episodes! Trevor’s love for this subject really shows through lately after it waned during the Alexander episodes.

  • Odd delivery

    I listened for quite awhile, but eventually the consistent and strange pronunciation of easy words got to be all I could hear. Even though I’d like to learn more about this subject, I can’t bring myself to keep listening.

    I would probably be a reader, but I can’t be a listener any longer.
