  • Fantastic Story Telling and Eloquently Read

    This podcast is a must listen for any history buff. I live in the American west (New Mexico) and it’s fascinating hearing about my region’s history from someone equally as passionate about it as I. It listens more like an audiobook than a podcast due to the colorful detail and well thought out sentence structure throughout. Sometimes it feels like Mr. Flores is in a competition to see how non-traditionally he can pronounce each word which I find very entertaining. I find myself repeating each wo... more

  • Over produced, not a podcast

    This isn’t a podcast. This is an audio of something written like a book. And over produced with music and sound effects. No pause for reflection. No conversation. It just isn’t a podcast. I’d rather read this than listen.

  • Skip the Intro

    Dan I’m a big fan but you can’t read that intro stuff to us. It comes off lame. Once you get to the story your reading is better and more interesting. But telling the story while referring to notes would make way better listening. You’re a good speaker. You don’t need to read.
