At times it seems that going through the 20th Century will take Mark a century itself but I am in no rush to end. I am enjoying the ride.
If you are new and feel overwhelmed start small. Choose the episodes related to the invention of the Airplane, the Russo-Japanese War or any other one that interests you: you are also in no rush.
while i’m enjoying many parts of this podcast (including “hot time in the old time tonight” & the kaiser wilhelm ii awards 😂😂), i’m finding the sheer amount of military history to be too much.
while i certainly understand that the wars of the late 19th & entire 20th century from the franco prussian to the cold war are critically important to the time period, the names of every chief of staff & general & details of each battle gets tedious. so many flanks…

Thank you Mr Painter
I only just found this podcast a couple of weeks ago after hearing Mark read a quote as a guest on Jerry Landry’s Presidencies podcast, but I’m so glad I did. Mark’s easygoing presentation style pairs perfectly with his wonderfully sarcastic commentary to result in an amazing history podcast. I’m a history enthusiast, but I’m already learning things about topics I thought I knew everything about! Absolutely first rate, Mark!
I stumbled upon this show a few months back. So far I am 32 episodes in and all but a couple have been wonderful. With dry humor and a bit of sarcasm, the host has been not just informative, but very entertaining as well!
Oh, and one more thing , keep listening until the end. Usually the little segment after “Oh and one more thing …” is really good!
