Customer Reviews
Pure Joy!
This show is absolutely fantastic! I laugh out loud on my boring commute to and from work. Thank you so much for this! Please keep them coming!
Cleverly irreverent!
Refreshingly entertaining with very funny guests. Gillard is a perfect offset to the comedians that guest his show by keeping the show on track while adding clever well timed quips of his own. I highly recommend this show to anyone who enjoys history and wants a less traditional way to absorb knowledge. The only bad part is waiting for the next week’s episode.
