    I love the subject matter and want to absorb all of the history of a place before I travel there, but the bite sized jumping around drives me batty and I have trouble keeping it straight. If there is any way you can combine these mini episodes and order them chronologically, I would be a devoted follower!

  • Too short

    Content is good. Very interesting. But the format is way too short and my feed just gets polluted making it difficult to manage all my podcasts. Very annoying. Too bad as I do like the hosts and content I just cannot tolerate having every other podcast in my feed this one. I am out.
