  • Jessica doesn’t add to this at all

    Jessica’s lack of knowledge about any of these subjects is very distracting. Is she the stand-in for the audience? Her input is not valuable, stick with Howard and interviews with subject matter experts.

  • Starts out rough - start with Season 2

    The first couple episodes are less polished but they really find their rhythm by Season 2 and by Season 3 they’re on fire. The stories are interesting and unique and their chemistry is great. So glad I found this podcast and stuck with them!

  • Great historical stories, and worth listening to!

    But I have a hard time, listening to the stories with all of the constant comments, and interruptions to the story. They do not add, but take away or diminish the storytelling. I look forward to hearing all the stories if this these interruptions can somehow be diminished or stopped please.

  • Mixed reaction

    Love the stories, and enjoy Howard but not Jessica’s banter nor comments. I think the show/podcast would be richer with, simply, Howard’s narrations and perspective. And he could bring on different guests to provide some of the banter and commentary, but please, not his spouse. I do not like their dynamic. She comes across airless and somewhat aggressive, and unnecessarily foul mouthed.

  • Has potential but currently cringey…

    The show has potential with interesting topics but I feel like I am listening in on an insufferable conversation between a married couple. Also, one of the participants really adds no value to the conversation… seriously, every time that person speaks I cringe.
