I’ve been a day one listener since Aaron announced this podcast for the first time on Lore. I love her voice, the background music, and topics. I wish the episodes were longer!
Overall, the storytelling of historical events and people is quite good. The description of the characters and events in particular make the show interesting. But the constant self-promotion of the host’s books at the start (and end) of quite nearly every episode , is tedious.
Great!
This is such a cool and interesting podcast and I love all of th episodes it is great for car rides asbit is on the longer side
