Very Enjoyable

I heard about this podcast from The Office Ladies and I think it’s great. Rebecca does a great job giving the information necessary for us to catch up with the topic. I especially love how all of the conservatives are peeved about it. Yeah, they are liberal, but they’re also comedians. Don’t think they’ve ever claimed to be professors in history.
Cackling

It’s the cackling. This is a nervous/attention-seeking tic that is all too common, especially with women podcasters whose voices are already grating and deliberately high pitched. They cackle loudly every few words for no reason. Nothing is funny. Got 16 minutes into one episode and could stand it no more.
So helpful when dealing with jerks.

Thank you so much for this podcast! I am constantly telling people about it. Learning about history this way really helps me retain the details, and knowledge is power. Just yesterday, there was an arrogant man at work who likes to show off his knowledge of history..it’s ridiculous, but unfortunately I was unable to leave the room when he started peppering everyone with questions. He didn’t think anyone could name the bombs used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He asked me directly, and I calmly replied with the right answers and it took the wind out of his sails a bit. Appreciate the help from you all!
So funny!

The cast and guests are great! BUT please learn the proper pronunciation of names! It makes listening easier. The Troy episode I had to cut short because of it.
