These are such fascinating episodes looking at underappreciated but nonetheless important topics or episodes in history.
I like the topics, and would really love to engage with this podcast, but the delivery is so slow and unnatural I simply can't.
I found this podcast as I was looking for more information on the indigenous people of the US after watching 1883, part of the Yellowstone series. As I’m in the U.K. I didn’t learn about it at school.
