  • Some good stuff but definitely a liberal bias

    Some of the early stuff is very good and there isn’t not a ton of historical in accuracies. However, as time goes on, you can definitely hear the liberal leaning talking points versus true historical stories. Take, for instance, their claim the Hoover handpicked Reagan and ushered in corruption. if you read the Hoover archives, it is clear that there was very little to no relationship that existed. I would love to hear more unbiased historical tellings from this pod.

  • Always a good listen!

    Bob and Ben discuss our American history with joy and awareness! They often start with connections to the past, but then they usually move into examination of our overall culture. Somehow, they keep things friendly and cordial, even when they are exploring difficult ideas.
