Customer Reviews
Entertaining and fascinating
Straight up - don’t listen to this at work! Even with a headset on because I’m so busy trying not to burst out laughing. This is the way history should be told - with a great sense of humor, an eye for the ridiculousness of human nature and lots of historical analysis. Love it!
The “Um” Tho…
🩷 these gals and the content! I’d give 5 stars, but the “ummm,” makes it difficult to binge.
Funny and factual…
… where can you find both? Humorous and yet very good about sharing important info. Love it.
