One of the most consistently reliable and entertaining podcasts out there, with good music. The tales it tells are an interesting look into the darker and more cloudy corners of human history, although Aaron Meinke's compassion and even-handedness when putting across stories that could so easily be seen as 'look what our foolish forebears believed!' is what keeps you listening.
