This is possibly my favorite history podcast. The host has guest speakers who are experts on the topics. There’s no quoting from Wikipedia! Highly recommended.
A great recipe: history with a twist of conspiracy, a pinch of mystery. Loving it for an easy going listen towards relaxation, yet still well informed.
Extra bits of information on historical events that make the past more relevant to today.
Excellent presentation. Really great listen.
If the hosts/writers could keep their left leaning political biases out of the facts of the history that they are covering the show would have gotten a higher rating and probably have more subscribers. This supposed to an informative historical show not having social justice and progressive propaganda inserted.
