The Rest Is History

Love this podcast. Keep up the great work.

I just finished listening to the 5 part series on the Aztecs of Mexico. The series was so one-sided favoring the Spanish, it could have been used for as an advertisement for the wonders of enslaving conquered people. The insensitivity toward the native people of Mexico was shocking. No depth or insight regarding the indigenous people of Mexico was ever offered. As a matter of fact, the last episode featured comparisons of Cortez and the Aztec leader as to their character and humanitarian values. Of course the Aztec leaders were seen as ruthless and cruel. Did the writers of this podcast understand that the land of these leaders was being destroyed and the people of that land were being decimated! I understand one of people presenting this racist presentation was a children’s book author. Thus, the next generations of anglo rulers has a new guide book. I just cancelled my subscription to this one.

Episode is looping to subscribe page when I have a subscription.

Tom is a saint and Dom a hero. I’ve listened to every history podcast I can find and nothing compares to these two. They truly make listening fun and when they start selling shirts I’ll be the first buy one.
