  • I really like this podcast. I may be biased, being from New England, but I learn some interesting things about the area. My favorite episode was about a soldier in the Civil War that is memorialized with a statue just one town over from my hometown in Mass. Really interesting stuff.

  • Leftist

    Couldn’t even get through one episode (the first) without getting lectured about how humans are evil and destroying the earth. Can you lefties have a good time that doesn’t include wishing death upon the entire human race?!
