Excellent!
If you want to know the who what & where of the civil war, this podcast is fantastic!
If you’ve ever wondered how situations developed, who were the main characters,how they came to their decisions, and then executed plans, this is going to be a delightful journey for you!
the civil war podcast
where do I begin simply the best podcast for the civil war I have ever listened to
Very Good But For . . .
I just started listening to this podcast (32 episodes in), and it is very good but for the inane (and poorly performed) banter that the hosts insert annoyingly into each episode (e.g. “his dark little expansionist . . .” “Rich!” “Sorry.”). It’s annoying, unnecessary, and only detracts from the otherwise pleasant and calm presentation of the narrative. I sure hope it stops soon, because it’s becoming more and more of a turn-off.
