Highly recommended. Blend of hardcore history and contemporary event highlights making shared info relatable. Never boring. Dominic should be nicer to Tom. Basic courtesy across. It is a program and not a banter in a pub.
I have loved this podcast and I would recommend Dominic’s book Adventures in Time: Fury of the Vikings and Alexander the Great and I hope for a series about more ancient topics
Not enough adverts
I don’t know of anyone that says Hitler was pushed into it. Maybe they meant he pushed his way into it?
I paid for a years subscription in May this year and now I can’t hear another podcast until I pay them again
