Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 350 ratings
  • Historically valuable, yet heavy-handed

    The personal oral histories compiled in this podcast are meaningful, often engaging, and a matter of increasing rarity. The caliber of interviews increased dramatically with the change in hosts from Pell to Corombos. Their production here, however, remains somewhat heavy-handed, as well as inclined to conclude on a nationalistic soapbox.
