  • Amateur Historians presenting Amateur History

    A decent podcast regarding the bare rudiments of some interesting topics in Florida’s history. Though not complete devotees of the ahistorical rewriting of history, they certainly kowtow to de rigueur popular revisionism to the loss of their listeners (though they falsely profess to accomplishing the opposite). Give us the facts, not your politics, gentlemen.

  • Hard to trust with bad

    I really enjoy some of the content but it is hard (despite what other reviewers say because they sit on the same side of the fence) to trust that a fair representation is being given because it becomes obvious that everyone leans to one side of the political spectrum on the show. It’s really hard to take seriously when silly media terms like “climate denier” are used to brand people with different viewpoints. Wish I had better things to say, how about no political bias, at least give both sides ... more
