  • Could Be Better

    I love the content of the podcast, but I wish the host spoke more naturally. Sometimes it’s hard to follow what she’s saying, especially complicated concepts, because she pauses and uses intonation at strange moments. I wish she would just speak more naturally because I really do love the stories she’s telling.

  • Low volume, highly interesting

    I just started this pod and am really liking it! Low volume, and super informative— it’s as if my friend and I are nerding out about history over coffee.
