Customer Reviews
One of my favs
Insightful interviews with a wide range of writers who have great perspectives on history and/or current events. I’ve received some of my best book recommendations from listening to this podcast. But in addition to learning about some quality books, I find the conversations to be quite enlightening and entertaining. Host Bob Kustra does a nice job. Always a treat.
Worth Your While
Simply a great listen about an a wide array of interesting topics -- all explored with care and insight.
Not worth it
Kustra is an idiot. If I could buy him for what he's worth and sell him for what he thinks he's worth then maybe I could afford to offer a scholarship to a kid to attend a school that cared more about academics and less about it's football team.
