Your episode on Machiavelli was fantastic!! Both wonderful and terrifying at the same time. Thoroughly enjoyed!!
Needs Polishing

The title is correct, it is a bit Half-Arsed. A combination of talking a bit too fast, spoken language “rough edges”, an absence of humourous asides, and pretty predictable content, seem to be the main problems with this podcast. (Yeah, I know that doesn’t leave much, but….) To be fair, it is not pretending to be more polished than it is. I cannot see any reason to subscribe or pay for it. That would be like deliberately picking out fruit from the organic fruit shop which is clearly past its use by date. As free content it may be acceptable.
Great listening and all around great guy

Hilarious and informative. Also excellent marks for the German pronunciation even if your opinion on German food is questionable. Super keen for the book!
