The History of the Cold War Podcast

Thanks for all the great episodes. I learned a lot.

Episodes are specific and nuanced topics that are difficult to find in a podcast. I’m no professional but so much mispronunciation is a turnoff. I could do without the editorial.

I love this podcast, but the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is the sound quality. Get that mic dialed in! Lots of clipping makes the voice audio harsh.

Overall I think he does a decent job in his goal - that is to explain the Cold War without pushing his politics/thoughts through the explanation. However, I can’t give it a good review because he’s incorrect in his pronunciation for a lot words, specifically Czechoslovakia. I’m probably just nitpicking, but when a country’s name is mispronounced 5x in the course of a few minutes, it’s kind of embarrassing. If you’re going into something with the spoken word, please make sure you can pronounce them correctly beforehand. I’m only on episode 39 so maybe he eventually corrects it, but I must’ve heard “Czesoslovakia” 100x by now.
