  • Was better before political viewpoints injected

    Less and less interested in listening to someone’s political rants/slant. Overall, what started as a history podcast that is very well written and narrated has too many political remarks for my liking. I’m interested in the story not your feelings.

  • Took exceptional to the next level

    I am an avid podcast listener for at least the last eight years. I’ve enjoyed both scared to death and Time, so however, have never been motivated to leave a review. both shows are exceptional in and of themselves however episode 505 about the Japanese earthquake and subsequent tsunami. Have elevated dance qualifications to a whole other level.

    Cheers and thank you

  • Great Insight, Weak Attempts at Comedy

    Just about to wrap up the Mister (Fred) Rogers episode. Dan’s research is very impressive and he provides a lot of insight, however most of his attempts at edgy/dark humor either fall flat or are just downright disrespectful. Not too crazy about that. Don’t get me wrong, I do like that kind of humor when the time and place are right, but a man like Rogers deserves respect.
