Customer Reviews
Excellent podcast
Fantastic podcast made with a lot of love.
One of my highlights each week is listening to the next episode.
Jem is one of the most informative and interesting historians that I have ever read or listened to.
Marrying pop culture to history is a winning formula and for there is something in here for everyone.
Keep up the super work.
