This could have been so good. Great premise, but the worst narrator. Miserable, no intonation, makes a good subject boring. Can’t listen anymore
History was so dry to me during my early school years and I now love it, thanks in part to this podcast. And his voice is lovely to listen to!
I paid for ad free-WTH? Great shows but don’t bother to subscribe
I just wish his voice wasn't too calming. Which is an odd thing to be upset about, yes I know. It just literally puts me to sleep every time I listen to this podcast. Which is disappointing cause I love history and genuinely am interested in learning about this stuff. I think the quality of the podcast is great, and I wish I could enjoy it. But he put me to sleep. So if you want some sleep stories, 10/10 would recommend. That's what I use them for.
This is by far my new favorite podcast. How am I just finding it now!
