My new favorite podcast

History was never interesting to me in school but as I have gotten older I find I am drawn to it. I am such a fan of this podcast and it reinforces my belief that one teacher can make such a difference. I love the Gettysburg’s express episode so much I shared with my daughters and a close friend. Thank you for continuing to make episodes and you have a fan from CA. Wish I would have been in your class, but school is not the only way to learn !!! Keep up the great work !!

Triggered

I hate to be “that guy”, because maybe other episodes are phenomenal. I’ll preface with, I don’t whether they are or not, because of how inaccurate this man summarized excerpts from Empire of the SUMMER Moon. He repeated referred to the book as SOUTHERN Moon, when speaking on how the Comanche broke horses; he said they whispered into their ear, when in fact they cupped the nostrils and breathed in cadence until the horse calmed and there were 2 or 3 other items he either misspoke on or botched just referencing a single book. Typically this would not be a big deal but when your entire production is branded as a history course, it’s pretty much impossible for me to find you as a credible source.
