  • Use to love it

    Use to absolutely LOVE this podcast and have been listening for years. First it was an insane amount of ads (I just skip through and chalk it up to more popularity), but recently I have noticed it has become decently political. I wish they would just stick to history opposed to putting in their own ideologies (which have racist and sexist undertones). I’ve noticed a lot of the same reviews and hope the host read and take notice.
