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 paid for a years subscription in May this year and now I can’t hear another podcast until I pay them again
