Very intersting!
I only recently discovered this podcast and I love it for the most part! I think it does have a very distinct American point of view, but if you are aware of that (and not like some people: get angry about that) I think it's perfectly fine. I just listened to the podcast about Nazi Gold and I have to admit that the phrasing "Germany went in and took it" did have quite a sour taste, what with me being German and all. But I suppose there's nothing wrong with the phrasing even IF I'd have preferred "the Nazis" or "the Third Reich" instead of Germany. Just as an example, though. It's a great podcast, I love all the stories about American heroes / important people that I have never heard about!
Riddled with ads
Sadly this podcaster which is otherwise super interesting is basically unbearable to listen to because there are multiple add breaks each 2min or longer. I usually use another app to listen to podcasts, but this was so annoying that I downloaded the Apple Podcasts app just to rate this
Very interesting and enjoyable
I have learned a great deal of interesting historical ephemera.
Especially in shows the focus on a woman in history, the hosts tend to get a little gushy. While cute, this distracts from the "seriousness" of the content sometimes
