  • Just a great, great podcast

    Intelligent, even professional. No giggling. Have listened to only 2 episodes so far but haven’t heard one “absolutely”. If you love history (I love history) then this is THE podcast you should be listening to. No left. No right. Just facts. And through it all it is entertaining. Informative. Just great. Or did I say that?
