  • It's obvious that the host does his homework & provides a well researched talk. My only complaint is his inability to refrain from offering his personal opinions on historical events. I would prefer to hear the facts & draw my own conclusions. I'm not a fan of judging historical events through today's moral lens. Other than that, it's a very good podcast.

  • I listened to learn some about my ethnic roots. The guy hesitates a little when he talks (like me) but says just enough that you aren't overwhelmed by knowledge.
