  • Outstanding!!

    TWR continues to amaze at the quality and quantity of information, delivered in a thorough and engaging manner. The output has one wondering if there are actually 2 or 3 of him doing the work?!! How does one so young gain a lifetime’s worth of experience? I imagine it’s from the double blessing of intense curiosity and work ethic.

    TWR delivers the material in an easy-going tone, as if it were being imparted around a campfire-occasionally diverting to relate personal amusing stories. He often ... more

  • Perfect for those curious about the Native American culture

    Thank you so much for doing this podcast. I am so hungry for this knowledge, yet can’t read a book AND paint at the same time. I wished that someone would just keep telling me about the archeological and anthropological history, without being on Youtube. I am very grateful to you and love how you go into details and read from sources. I want to know everything I can about the Native American Culture of North America, as this is the land where I live, and as a human, I wish to develop a deeper... more

  • Great content until NPS episode

    I absolutely loved this podcast due to the creator’s detailed research and his passion for the history of this beautiful region of our country. However, the recent episode on how to fix the National Park Service took a really dark turn near the end. The views expressed certainly do no reflect my values. I was almost ready to purchase a subscription to support the podcast but can no longer do so with a good conscious. The content was very interesting and informative prior to this episode. I de... more

  • Opinions not necessary

    Some good overviews of Southwest history, but the host can’t help himself from peppering in climate denialism, gun fetishism, half-baked politics. The image that comes to mind is of a rich kid wearing an Indiana Jones hat as an affectation.
