Started listening to the podcast couple of weeks ago after someone recommended on Reddit. Exactly what I was looking for. Rediscovered my love for History that was forgotten in late high school and under graduation years. Already listened to 16 episodes and would soon catch up to latest episode. It’s fascinating podcast. Thank you very much for creating low entry level yet very insightful history podcast. (Couldn’t find email so commenting here)
Thank you, I’m really glad you’re enjoying this podcast! I started it hoping to reach an audience outside of people who already consider themselves history fans, so this makes me very happy to hear.
