  • Fascinating but frustrating

    There’s an amazing array of expertise. At least, I assume they’re experts from the way they talk but who knows, when so many just use their handles and remain anonymous to the general listener. I’d love to follow up and see what articles or books they’ve written but that’s impossible with so many, especially with the early podcasts. Why so coy?

  • Great podcast for learning directly from historians

    I’ve been following the subreddit associated with it for a while and love the depth they go into on the show here. They always have her good guests that take historical accuracy seriously and usually have interesting topics. They range from moderators, redditors and event traditional historians.

    One of the hosts said he works at the Kinsey Institute. Which is reason enough to distrust all of them, and the whole podcast
