a great part of your politics and history diet

Bruce does a great job of doing the important work of tying the past to the present as nonpolitically as possible, and digging out the nuggets that makes history so interesting. Go elsewhere if “facts” are not your thing.
I'm learning so much!

Bruce makes history more interesting by telling it as a story instead of facts and dates like in high school history class. He is such a font of knowledge.
Old guard podcast still going strong
Mar 3
I'm pretty sure I have listened to every episode, back to the days whjen the tech was pretty primitive. Bruce digs in moderately deep and chooses some interesting and esoteric things from time to time. He still has editing blips which are endearing rather than annoying. The exclusive Patreon feed is certainly the way to go. PS the "extras" featuring tidbits that didn't make the final pod are lots of fun.
Among the Best

Bruce uses history to make sense of today’s politics. I’ve been listening for years and the research, production quality, and storytelling keeps getting better and better.
