This podcast was a favorite of mine, led by Dr. Andrew Hammond, now it seems more softball and less focused on in-depth history. Disappointed in the changes…
It was neat on all the parts that I listened to about how we got the enigma machine from a German sub then I listen to the next few and really liked it
I don’t know why Dr. Hammond left or by what qualifications or criteria Ms. Ingber was chosen but unfortunately it was a misstep that has caused this show to “jump the shark” big time. It’s not half the show it once was and many of its competitors are now better options in this space. A great shame.
I think this is a very interesting informative podcast. Love to listen to it. Thanks
…the best intelligence related show, now a copy-paste stock political blurb. How sad.
