Amazing podcast

I just started listening to this, and already I’m engrossed in the narratives. I used to only listen to Real Dictators, but now I where to find another great podcast on dictators. Great job, keep it up!
Thank you and good bye.

Wonderful podcast full of exceptionally delivered history. Both need to understand how the word ‘myriad’ works. Hint: It’s an uncountable number. But, gonna say goodbye to a stellar podcast. May Spotify bring you joy!
Poor use of time and excruciatingly basic

It takes around 5-6 minutes to actually get into new info. The first bit is repetitive announcements that are present in every episode, basic prep, and a couple ads. Then you have 2 more ad breaks and the last 2-3 minutes is useless foreshadowing that is going to be talked about in the next episode in the same scope anyway. Basically, there’s 10-13 minutes of uselessness in each episode and for a 50 minute podcast, it’s extremely aggravating; especially since the actual info is so surface level in scope and poorly focused. Boring info, distractingly basic host flow, and poor use of time makes this show seem low effort and tries to make money off too many ads.
No longer middle ground

Use to be a great podcast and actually learned something about history. Unfortunately, now politics have taken over like everything else. You can distinctly hear the sharp left turn. Will be unsubscribing.
