4.7 out of 5 stars from 8.3k ratings
  • Still a favorite years later

    Excellent show that really does succeed in blending real historical accuracy with the kind of goofy antics and riffs a moron like me enjoys with friends. Joe is humble about how qualified and skilled he is at bringing these topics up each episode, and I can clearly hear when some of them are just goofy head-shakers, and when some hit close to home for him. Nate is a true lad who I relate to far too much, and Tom is pure craic on two legs, both act as great co hosts, and I enjoy the trio so darn ... more

  • Good pod for the most part. Be ready to fast forward.

    Love Joe. Smart dude. He’s awesome. Been listening since the beginning.

    That being said it’s an automatic fast forward 30 seconds when Nate talks. I keep hitting that button if I hear his voice. Dude will derail the subject for a good ten minutes each time he opens his mouth. He’s interesting too, but if I wanted to listen to his stories (they are interesting) I’d listen to his pod. I listen to this pod to learn about the subject Joe is presenting, not Nate. Sorry Nate, I do think you’re cool. ... more
