I’m no historian but from what I can tell, Mike’s takes her research work seriously and backs her facts. She is a great story teller, love the way the podcasts are structured and excited to see more. Been following this on YT but finally got my iPhone fixed so I’m here on Apple Podcasts too!
You are awesome. Thank you so much for doing this podcast. I have learned a lot listening to you. It is very interesting listening to you. I hope youll do some more episodes.
