I love this podcast. I wish more universities would do this. Education should be available for everyone who wishes to learn. Still waiting for the Ivy League schools to do this, by the way.

Dr. McClay has a phenomenal knowledge of history and a down-to-earth manner of retelling it. The only negative would be his style of speaking. He begins a sentence at full volume, then trails off as he speaks the final phrases almost to the point of speaking under his breath. This wide modulation means either having him shout at you (if the volume is up) or missing the ends of his sentences (if the volume is down).
