Customer Reviews
Truly phenomenal
The amount of perspective, empathy and depth of knowledge in this show is unparalleled. Every time, my mind expands but so does my heart. A must listen during these wild and painful times. This show brings back our humanity and I look forward to every episode.
Well done
I appreciated this podcast I like catching up with history but it is easy to get lost with too much at once. I like the wind up at the end. The review of facts. Jewish history needs to be told loud and often. It is hard to hear the horrific violence in some of the stories but it needs to be heard. I have a project I’m working on and theses podcast have helped pass the time as well as educating me on information I needed to know. Thank you
