- Interview - discussion - is it?
Fascinating & helpful introductions to important subjects. Thanks. The episode on Mussolini is excellent: good questions, helpful answers, well researched and presented .

United Kingdoma month ago - How the right thinks. 😱
I've just listened to US diplomat Colleen Gaffey justify and whitewash Augusto Pinochet and the CIA executing Allende and installing a far right and murderous military junta. I'm nauseated tbh.
This is a useful podcast if you want some insight into how far-right conservatives view history. And only that.

Great broadcaster! Enjoyed his book club podcast as well. We seem to share similar interest. Too bad I am not a sword fighter!

United States3 months ago - Almost perfect
The Intro Speeches are just wrong. They go on for ever. The first voice is captivating. Leave it at that. Content is so good however l gave this programme five points and l shall buy the book.
Apple Podcasts5moysholmesUnited Kingdom4 months ago - Educational, but variable quality
I have generally found these podcasts very educational over the past few years; for example the excellent one on Putin recently. But it is let down by a handful of really poor presenters, notably the verbose American presenter who did the recent Milosevic podcast and several of the ones on US presidents: Iain Dale could barely get a word in edgeways!
