“The actual information in the podcast is very entertaining. I just listened to 20 minute episode. The actual podcast didn’t start until minute 4 and ended at minute 16. 40% of the podcast was ads and about donating.”

“Put up with the chaotic timelines and leftist revisionism for a while to enjoy the little humorous vignettes put on by Mike and his kids. As we got further and further into the modern era the more his Marxism became too much to listen too any more. 200 million dead not enough for you Mike? Oh...”Read full review »
