Definitely one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to
I think this series entertains and engages the audience with clever storytelling and insight into the important figures in American history...the foley sound adds realism that reminds me of the golden era of radio.
(Long enough to cover the subject,Short enough to keep it interesting) Events that are refreshed with just the perfect dose of detail that even a history buff may not know. No overkill, I could go on instead I will simply state "No Downside, literally doesn't suck"hundreds of episodes and I have enjoyed about 1/3 so far.I'm well read in history. Prof. has it down to an art. It is rare for my interest to sustain to this degree.I am grateful!
My New Addiction
I am a fan of the show and have been for years. With that being said, please stop reading in the accents. It’s corny. It definitely takes away from the pod.
