This is my go-to podcast for anything history—I always check if this podcast covers it before moving on to other sources. She is knowledgeable, passionate, and quite the story-teller. I fall asleep to this and wake up to this. Thank you so much for making these podcasts and YouTube videos! It got me interested in learning history again :)
Intelligent, knowledgeable. Presents well-researched information.
Intelligent, even professional. No giggling. Have listened to only 2 episodes so far but haven’t heard one “absolutely”.
