    Just finished the Arditi episode and it was epic. Bolelli always comes prepared and his passion for history is evident in his storytelling.

  • Great podcast!

    Great podcast…thanks for your hard work and dedication to your profession and craft!

    Don’t let the haters get you down…it’s only a projection of their own ignorance and ideological bias.

  • Just can’t

    I had enjoyed this show so much. Had some super great episodes. This new one is vs them is the most dog water episode I’ve listened to in a history podcast I’ve been caught up and listening on release for over a year. I’m done your contempt for Christianity disgusts me. You try to sound smart while pontificating but you just sounded like a bumper sticker explanation of your views here. I’m unfollowing at this point. I’m so tired of history podcasts doing this garbage
