Apple Podcasts5glowersgirlUnited Kingdoma month ago - Poor editing
Generally I like this show, despite a few episodes that try to fit too much in, or don’t explore a topic from more than one perspective.
BUT the editing is terrible. The Jacques Cousteau episode literally ended mid-sentence right after his wife died. Gotta wonder if that’s related to the duplication in the middle of the episode. Or maybe ad insertion issues? This isn’t the first time there has been a loop in editing, or the outro cutting off early. It was funny for the April Fools episode, ... more

The views expressed are very subjective and there are a lot of instances where the facts are delivered to a singular end to make you reach a set conclusion. It feels, at times, that this is propagandised history without much of an interest in respecting the intelligence of the audience to draw their own conclusions. That being said, there are some exceptional episodes too, I like the narrator and format.
