Love these stories
Thank you
Love the show. Hate the promos
This is a hands-on show. I LOVE it, but I have to be ready to skip past the aggressive bros promoting their shows that I would never, ever listen to. Who at I Heart Radio really thinks that listeners of an intelligent, well-researched history program would also want to hear some has-beens reminisce about some dumb TV series? Or other bro stuff?
Still the best
Still the best history podcast around! A variety of topics are covered and while the coverage isn't super in depth because of the format, it does allow you to research more on your own. Which is great cause you get to hear about a lot and can look into a topic further if it interests you.
