- Why are you now hiding the earlier episodes?
I had listened to every episode up to and through part of the Civil War, now the podcast only shows me one option, episode 209 about WWII. I won’t listen to anymore until that is fixed. I used to recommend this to my froends, no more till that is fixed.

United States3 days ago - “Quote” “closed quote” overuse!
You can always tell when someone is new to podcasting because they insist on using the phrases “quote” and “closed quote” which makes it nearly unlistenable. The audience simply wants you to tell the story without any unnecessary added fluff. Just tell the story and don’t add minutes to it by saying quote and closed quote. It’s not needed.

His dismal self serving self promoting during his appearance in IHIP caused me to unfollow. He did not answer questions all answers were to promote his book.
Apple Podcasts1TrucrmfanUnited States19 days ago - History Professor??
Used to love his podcast but I recently listened to his interview on IHIP News with Jennifer Welch and it was so strange. Greg danced around all the current White House administrations transgressions without acknowledging actual facts. I feel that you lose all credibility as a “historian” if you aren’t able to recognize and acknowledge current facts that will eventually become history. Being “bi- partisan” in this day and age (in my opinion) like Greg claims to be doesn’t exist anymore. I will ... more
