Reviews
- American Elections Series - Game Changer
An absolutely incredible amount of information that is just not taught as part of civic education. I’ve been a longtime listener but this series takes the show to a new level and is especially important context for this year’s election.

Very sad because History of Ideas is great when Runciman just talks someone else’s ideas. Ypi, Gerstle and Runciman’s other ivory tower friends are not as interesting as they think they are

I have listened to all these and despite being perhaps the thickest listener I get a lot from these . In an ocean of podcasts these stand out . Always interesting .I can’t wait for all the new episodes coming soon.

Amazing.

Well that was depressing. Sorry, I thought it was excellent and thought provoking but on a wet Thursday morning I should perhaps have listened to something ‘frothy’.
