Customer Reviews
Informative and engaging
This podcast is a must if you’re researching in Pennsylvania. Denys is fun to listen to and I’ve learned a lot so far!

Host apparently didn’t prepare for the interview, she didn’t even know the title of her guest, and then giggled about it; why the long rambling question about the square of land in Philadelphia, again filled with giggles; and then the very articulate guest responded and we get another giggle … and that was the point where I unfollowed, host needs to study other podcast hosts and loss the laughing and giggling, it’s too middle school-ish …
