What they cover is good, but the problem is that they are 14 minute podcasts, with about 2.5 minutes being intro and concluding pre-fab bits. And most times I'm left wanting to know more about the object, the time it was from, concepts of how these people saw themselves and their world, etc. In fact, I would prefer that the object be more of an entry into a broader historical topic, which they attempt somewhat, it is still to literal in terms of covering just the history of the object in question.Read full review »

I too, was wondering why they stopped at 30, until I read the complete podcast description which said that it would be broadcast in three installments. I think that they are great and listen to them in my car.

I am glad to find such an intelligent person speaking so well and with so much insight about the past. I will be sorry when it is over!
