  • Keep’em coming Craig!!!

    Craig is an awesome host and the way he tells the title of the show always fires me up! Really great big picture deep dive into why China is the way China is today, your next show should be the Germanic tribes from Caesar to the Germanic invasion which downed the Roman Empire. Just a thought, keep up the great work!
