  • Great series… but

    Like a good cook tastes their food before serving, I think you should listen to your podcast before publishing it. Many instances of bad editing where one track is talking over another.

  • C’mon 1930s

    I listened to one season of this podcast, 1942, as I’m not interested in the other years featured. I learned some interesting things from the 1942 series, so thanks to everyone for that. My favorite episode was the one about radio propaganda/disinformation. Fascinating. If you ever do any year from the 1930s or 1940-45, I’ll be back. My feeling is that you want to cover topics where you can interview people who lived it, and that’s less likely the farther back we go. Still I live in hope.

  • Why?

    Just learned their will be no more seasons of this show and I’m so disappointed. Also not surprised because it seems that any truly good podcasts get cancelled and the subpar ones live on endlessly. Such is life. Loved this show. Should be more of them.
