Absolutely great delve into American history 👌
I listen to true crime constantly and I was getting to a point where it felt like if I haven’t already heard about it, it’s probably not that interesting. This show has proven me wrong! For example, I thought, who needs another series about Jack the Ripper? Turns out, I did! I needed it!
But why did I pay for a subscription and there are still ads? How can I listen with no ads ever? Where do I pay for that? Please… help…
Very thorough and interesting
I recently stumbled upon this podcast and it has become one of my favorites because of how well and thoroughly researched each episode is. It contains unique anecdotes, for example, the episode of Josephine Baker, where they talked about the guy going down the river Seine in Paris on a kayak - it’s little details like that that make this such a great podcast.
Well written and entertaining
