4.7 out of 5 stars from 249 ratings
  • Mixed bag. Each series is created by different people so hard to rate as a whole. But, having tried four of the series that sounded interesting, none were five stars, one was quite bad, so probably will look elsewhere.

    Also, some series are just promotion of the sponsor's agenda.

  • If the Catholic Church leaders were so progressive, why were people who "scientifically" proved that the earth revolved around the sun condemned and threatened with excommunication if they dared to publicly assert that the geocentric model of our solar system was verifiable false! Please refrain from revising history to ameliorate or exonerate the false doctrine of a geocentric universe. Remember the fiery fate of Giordano Bruno when he dared speculate the existence of other planets.

  • Love-Love-Love this!

    I sincerely love learning through this podcast!

    Episodes 4 & 9 about economics entitled “(In)Efficiency” and “Demeritocracy” are especially educational.

    “Secular Salvations” is another great episode too!

    Thank you, Zachary Davis!! 🙏
