  • No clue

    No hate to the hosts but it seems like they just grabbed two random people off the street and had them read a ai-generated script to each other. They seem to have no clue what they’re talking about… respectfully.

  • Glad I found this podcast

    I normally don't enjoy two hosts because of too much banter but these two, although friendly, don't go off-track. The topics are well researched and well presented.

Pick up a book.” I don’t know how much longer I c... more

  • Love this!

    I love this podcast! It’s a taste of history but not super serious and boring. I just wish that the history happy hour was still published on here. Also I miss having new episodes every week!

  • Idiots

    They take interesting stories and ruin them with filler words and awkward laughing done at inappropriate times. Stumbling through their words and talking about things they have no idea about. How about do some research and get your thoughts in line before you put your goofy opinion out there. NEXT!
