I love listening to this and the sources provided is very helpful
One of the most well sourced podcasts Iâve ever come across and a truly neurodivergent deep dive into so many different topics đ

Great edutainment. They are open about their bias, which some of the other reviews I was reading are. Propaganda doesnât tell you the views they try to push you towards, they sell you a lifestyle like saying everything was better in the 50s while leaving out all the problems for minorities and woman at the time who were fighting for their rights.
