  • Fantastic

    I subscribed to the members only podcast and my my iPhone will not play it. It says to contact JP Bristow to find out why but there’s no contact information. i’m out of $45 annual subscription and I can’t even listen to the members only content.

  • So much detail

    Solid podcast. Much more detail than I was expecting. Audio quality varies a little episode to episode, but the quality of the information overshadows that by a wide margin. It’s filling in a massive hole in my world history knowledge. Keep up the good work.
