I started at the beginning a couple of weeks ago and I am now at the episodes of Prince Henry the Navigator. What an absolute blast of a show. Matt is such a good host, really like listening to him. Great stories, great explorers, great detail and some well placed humour. Highly recommended for anyone! My favorite podcast by far :)
