Great series
I love these guys, with their conversational style, unearthing the history of countries. If you like travel, then travel vicariously through history and across continents with this podcast.
Fantastic series. Can’t wait for more
This series is brilliant. I found the ones on the USA particulaly fascinating. Insightful and pitched at a good level for the average person with limited knowledge of history and wants to know more. Can’t wait to hear more in the series.
