Customer Reviews
A joy to listen to
Thanks for the fun and informative podcast. I love the format and subjects.
I do like “names and dates” while reading history non-fiction, but these discussions are appealing in another way.
Chapeau!
So good!
This is such a great podcast! Tells the intriguing and well-researched narrative of major historical events. Highly recommend!
It’s good
This is a pretty great podcast. I’ve been listening and relistening for years. Adam covers a lot of topics, so I find myself coming back for reference often.
