  • 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.

  • Disappointing

    Disappointingly anti-Russian and not neutral for a purported history podcast.
