Foundational

Mike Duncan is a modern Edward Gibbon. He did for revolutionary history what that man did for Rome.

AMAZING!!!

This is my favorite podcast. I am still. In elementary school and a love for history. I love it because he puts in so much amazing facts I makes simple enough that I can understand what he is talking about. This is really a amazing podcast!
