  • Is this podcast still a thing?

    Obviously inconsistent in getting content out. But, I miss the Brit takes on American history. A real riot.

  • This guy is pretty ignorant

    Has the gall to opine on US history. Robert E Lee was not actually a very good general. He blew it for the Confederacy.

    And REALLY? You honor a guy who supports slavery over human honor?

    The US Civil War was about slavery not honor.

    Give it up man. Pathetic.

    I love the podcast, whether it’s you or your dad! You not being a full-time podcaster I get there are some irregularities in recording. I’ll be listening as long as you’re recording though!
