Avis des utilisateurs
So good I put up with Apple Podcasts
Consistently funny and informative. Unlike most history podcasts, the host does actual research instead of dramatically reading wikipedia.
Waste of space
Waste of time.
Great podcast
Love the podcast, its funny enough but also super interesting. It’s also great to have a host with military experience to get that perspective.
4 stars because Nate interjects with stories far too often, and add very little to the conversation making it hard to follow the story that is trying to be told.
