  • Awkward editing

    I love this so I’m giving it 5 stars but the editing can be super awkward which makes it hard to listen to at times. on the new episode about presidents dying, it sounds like you’re at 1.2x speed and you sound more natural (ie compared to other episodes) at 0.9x. In many episodes, after some segments, instead of a natural speaking pause, your voice comes on again almost immediately like you’re interrupting yourself. Please fix because people need to hear these podcasts!!

  • We Must Listen to Understand

    How is it that I’m 61 years old and this is the first time I’m hearing this country’s history presented in such a clear and truthful way? Here it is told simply and concisely and with less bias than most US history, where even champions of truth will write about us with more words but less ability to convey the truth.
