This is consistently informative and entertaining. I’m always glad I listened to it even when I didn’t expect to be interested in the topic. Gabe Luzier, the host, injects such personality into each episode just by how he speaks. And the research is phenomenal.
The ads omg

Content and host are good. However the ads are too much. Every one of iHearts podcasts has the same ads over and over. Going to have to start finding new podcasts that don’t have 1/3 of the run time filled with annoying ads!
Welcome back!

It’s ok

I like it as a daily dose of history, but I don’t really care for the background music (needs to be ditched) and don’t like that it mainly focuses on American history. October 2021: I like the new format, but I find that most of the time for the episodes are devoted to ads; needs just one on either end.
