  • I am obsessed

    Even if you are remotely interested in history beyond the lacking details, you might’ve learned from formal education this podcast is for you. I’m not kidding when I say I’m obsessed. I’m very late to this party, but I’m glad because I have so many episodes to catch up on. Please never stop putting out new episodes.

  • Highly recommended

    If we could clone Eric and have him teaching American history in every high school in the US, we would have the most insightful, knowledgeable, and thought-filled young citizens in the world. This is a fantastic podcast.
