Württemberg is okay by me

Hi Matt. Been following your show for a while and I just want you to know that your deep dives into the global and strategic context is what sets your pod apart from others. The War of the Spanish Succession is a case in point. So Baden-Württemberg is ok by me. Brad

Piratical pleasure

Sit in a sea shanty with a rum and pop this podcast on while ye remember the ole buccaneering days. Seriously fun and such a thorough and entertaining walk through the swashbuckling past. It’s story time, with pirates! What’s not to love.

Very informative and factual very well thought out and told with great enthusiasm in a fun and exciting way.
I have learned so much about political and pirate history and it has been a real eye opener.
Thank you so much Matt.👍👍
