I love this podcast
I love this podcast and listen to everyone of them. It’s really cool to learn something new every week. One of my favorite mini series is unearthed. I would recommend this podcast to anyone who likes history and just learning About this in general. Thank you for this amazing podcast and I love learning more than just history each week!
Annoying hosts
The premise is great, but these are two of the most annoying women I've ever heard. Please dump the current hosts and I'll start downloading on a regular basis.
Great Topics, Terrible Hosts.
This podcast is just like listening to a sorority girl and her jock friend flirt and stumble through quasi-history lessons and trying to compel more people to traffic their site...Actually, it's just like that.
