Great!
Enjoyable, informative and fun! Short segments on interesting topics which are great for those of us who are committed history geeks and those of us who just have a passing interest.
Series repeats after a year, though :(
Mispronunciations are jarring.
Names and places should be pronounced correctly. The podcast comes off as poorly researched and somewhat amateurish because of this.
