  • Entertaining

    I don’t have interest in the subject so I don’t listen to every episode, but there is a lot of “general interest” material and personal connections with the guests that are quite interesting. The Halloween specials are the best!

  • You guys are the best!

    I don’t re-enact but I live it through you. So it wouldn’t be appropriate to wear a Kourland pocket cuff or badge for the invasion of France in 1940? Hahahaha I agree and love your passion. Everyone wants to be an Obergruppenfuhrer but I’d be a happy fat private. Thanks for coming back and I love every show.
