Stop with the accents they are unnecessary. Also I started relistening from the beginning after a break. But reading the names of all your subscribers has got to stop it’s the same over and over, it’s ridiculous it’s why I stopped listening in the first place. Only reason I gave it Thre stars is cause I enjoy history
I drive a lot for work. Consequently I have ample time to listen to podcasts. This one has rapidly risen to the very top of my preferences. I binged the entire archive between February and April, and now enduring the two week torture between subsequent episodes.
Gonna buy the forthcoming book too!
At first I really liked it. But when he started doing a Southern accent, it was insulting. And he was unapologetic about it. He didn't try other American accents (as of the last episode I listened to).
I know it's minor to many, but it was a huge turn off for me .
After listening to your latest episodes about the Holocaust, I think sometimes History does Suck.
Easily one of the best history podcasts out there. Prof Jackson knows how tell a story but the accents kill me. The Rob E Lee Forrest Gump took me right out of the mid 40’s episodes. Hopefully it stops. Sorry Prof!
