- Ivan the Terrible ep unbearable
I usually really like this podcast, but this ep was painful to listen to. Corny cringey “humor”, totally uninteresting/irrelevant (to the topic) guest, and honestly just straight up rude to Russians about their history with all the pithy comments about how “crazy” it has “always” been. A real low point for an otherwise usually smart, fun, educational, intelligently critical show.

Apple Podcasts5MotomurphyUnited States20 days ago - Fun & informative
It’s cool to get a different perspective on famous historical figures. So often they are only described in the rosiest of terms. The show really looks at them from a different perspective that is probably more realistic on the impact they had.
The host is great, and the guests are amazing !!
Highly recommended.

I do like the podcast and the host, She can get rather giggly which is very distracting.

I feel like I’ve been cheated from my true purpose in life I WANNA HOST A PODCAST TO INTELLECTUALLY DUNK ON AWFUL MEN FROM HISTORY. But seriously, this fills me with glee as a certified hater and nerd.
