Talks to fast
It is pretty interesting but the host talks SUPER fast and always sounds depressed
Unknown History
Short, very short stories with sometimes questionable accuracy. Sounds like narrative myths. No sources. Because every thing is bookended with ads, listening back to back is annoying. Speaker spends More time promoting book and ads than providing content. If your searching for LOFO stories, or if you are public school teacher.. this podcast is for you.
