- Great stuff but…
don’t expect to hear only opinions you like. These are lectures presenting historical facts which are sometimes then interpreted and applied to contemporary life. But unlike so many podcasts it isn’t pretending to be what it’s not.

Cool
Apple Podcasts5!huhUnited States2 months ago - Great Overall
Many of the lectures are very good. Skip the cult and the prison gang ones, though. You won’t learn much about either.
Would enjoy more variety of subjects. History has a lot of great topics.

I was just grinding my teeth this entire lecture. It was extremely biased against USA. Is the Professor by any chance Native American for crying out loud? It was too one sided for me. He was unsuccessful in taking a balanced approach. Too much liberal sentiments studded this interesting subject. 🤷🏻♂️

It was very informative and points out how some historians and journalists have clearly overlooked what was happening in South Vietnam from 1968-73. After 1967, many on the left focus on what was happening in America while selectively highlighting a few highly negative events in South Vietnam.
