  • Excellent Podcast that Encourages You to Learn More!

    I’m a lover of history and always enjoy a quality history doc or podcast. I have an affinity to the Gilded era in across the world and stumbled across this but decided to start from Chapter 1. I enjoy most is how it’s such an unbiased view of history.
