- Zoomers Giving US Hope
It’s like he’s seeing us in history, giving perspective of what others will be shocked by in the future.
Superb and thought provoking.

I’m impressed with the knowledge he’s accumulated, mostly from reading, and the unexpected wisdom from someone so young to be able to use history to explain so many of the problems vexing modern people and societies. I think his knowledge presented so cogently will help us steer away from the traps which generations of leftists have set to capture young minds and emotions (often for life) and for everyday people to regain rationality and pursue life with purpose, optimism and energy.
Apple Podcasts5Swim DailyUnited Statesa month ago - Alt History is right. Cracked is more like it.
Strange anthropological takes on history, Israel, God, with a smug know it all perspective. Not recommended.
Apple Podcasts1JavaracerUnited States2 months ago - Historically accurate
As someone who studies history, everything makes sense if you know what he is saying. A lot of terms he uses is more advanced type of studies, but if you listen and understand it can put you very well off compared to others.
