Customer Reviews
Wonderful History!
As someone who is slowly but surely trying to educate myself on matters from all over the world, I found this show to be right up my alley! It is beautifully narrated, and the information is clear and concise. I like that it starts from the very beginning and goes from there instead of skipping around, and I know that there's plenty of content to binge on. Bravo on a wonderful piece of podcast history!
