HistoryExtra podcast

I subscribe to avoid the jarring commercials breaks because I use this podcast to put me to sleep with lulling voices going on about topics that don’t agitate. BUT …My complaint is that the sound engineers don’t seem to bother about consistency in volume. The voices are often at wildly different levels. So easy to fix. Also if there are American guests, I switch off even when they are articulate and the topic interests me. I’m American but can’t stand our accents. Besides all that, highly recommend for those who have trouble falling asleep.

This show I thought would show an unbiased perspective of history, but it shows a leftist propagandized perspective. The “Catholic” on the interveiw is not representative of most Catholics we do not “update” our beliefs we have certain teachings that can’t be changed

Just listened to the episode on Vanilla. Excellent!! I will tell you that I make my own vanilla. I have a quart that has been extracting for almost 5 years. It’s wonderful!

I love this podcast and recommend it to everyone. So thorough and interesting. Every once and awhile though they platform someone who will say something flippant or present a horribly racist take (usually against Arabs) but generally it is a wonderful podcast. Alarming especially in their Israel bias which they often conflate with Judaism.
