Customer Reviews
One of the Best Naval History Podcasts
As someone who enjoys learning about Naval History, I love how this podcast finds interesting subjects (mostly American) to educate listeners about. It’s also very fun to learn about the US Naval Academy and it’s culture/history. Can’t wait for more!
So cool.
I found Preble Hall by accident. As is sometimes the case an accident can reveal a wonderful treasure. I am a product of my Dad and Mom’s fathers with my love of history. Maritime history being a first love. When I listen to your host(s) and the guests I’m no longer in the Year 2021. I am traveling through history gathering new information. I am also reliving information previously obtained.
Whoever came up with this idea should have a medal struck in their honor. Thank you so much for this walk through history.
Just as an aside the opening music of the old world and the closing modern music of today is pure class. I will faithfully continue listening. Thank you again, Jim
