Customer Reviews
Super bingeable history podcast
I learn something amazing every time and it's always unexpected. Also I feel like I have a better idea of where stuff comes from. Found out about this from Creature Feature and I am thrilled Katie Goldin is on it often.
Fine Show
Episodes are interesting with some fun facts, but seriously, stop picking guests who have no clue what the topic is. The specific episode was the tire one...I didn’t finish because I can’t justify listening to someone speak if they don’t know what a tire is. Also, there’s always a political element so good luck if you’re just listening for entertainment.
Obviously the best
Came here to give 5 stars because Alex deserves it
