Having just seen either a very angry or loving exchange between a Dutch handyman and a similarly Dutch milkmaid…you’re okay, right Joe? Blink audibly on a show intro if you need help getting outro. (Wink)
Had to end podcast after 20 min of bad jokes and 5 min of history on Ramsee island episode. Don’t waste your time on this show. Much better and more serious podcast out there for history.
Sometimes what they say as interesting or can be entertaining, often times the banter goes off into a five minute tangent that’s just not interesting to me. They also get a lot of things wrong. So if you’re a serious person about history at all this is a podcast to listen to a few episodes of and then move into something more serious.
Listened since 2022, Patreon subbed for awhile. I agree with the other review, Tom and Nate were the least talented guest stars, now both are co-hosts. They want to turn it into a show about 80s-2008 rock history, which isn’t why people tuned in. Their jokes are long digressions rather than supportive to the narrative. I find after a year of them being permanent fixtures I just no longer enjoy listening.
Awesome show. Funny, enlightening, iconoclastic. Can’t get enough.

A humor-infused military history show that blends detailed analysis of wars, battles, and commanders with irreverent banter and storytelling.
