Customer Reviews
Great content but the sound quality is not so great sometimes
The content is incredible because it is difficult to find the detailed Florida history anywhere else. It is clear that Kartik spends a lot of time on research. However, often in his episodes I can hear him typing and doing other things while the guest speaker is talking. I am appalled that he would do this while someone is speaking because it appears by him working on something else, he is not listening. Additionally, he should not be publishing the episode if other background sounds are heard. Please Kartik--- listen to the noises you are making BEFORE publishing. It would make your podcast far more professional. Thank you for all of your hard work on the content and just bought your book on the American Revolution.
Great content! But poor audio
Fascinating and nuanced telling of Florida history. I’m a Floridian and I didn’t know this history at all!
Those complaining that this show is “too political” are simply not comfortable with history. Good luck finding an alternative to coddle your fragile worldview 💕 this ain’t Fox News.
Enjoy the history but not the personal political views
Most of the podcasts are some great learning experiences of our great, butcrazy at times, state.
I’ve learned so much listening but it seems some political views sometimes comes out.
Of course everyone can believe what they want but this isn’t supposed to be a political show. Keep That out of it and it would be perfect.
You must know things that were done in the past cannot be held accountable to the people of today that had nothing to do with it. People and society evolve.
