  • Too much derailing

    Wanted online this podcast but can’t get passed the constant derailing of the cohost. She made it so hard to follow because she had to make jokes and commentary that distracts from the host’s presentation.

  • The treatment our founders deserve

    I absolutely love how gossipy this podcast is. That is the tone I want for my history deep dives.

    Also, I got mad that Ken Burns’s American Revolution neglected the Stamp Act, and I blame this podcast.
