You can listen to this podcast and get the feeling of having had a conversation about the topic. In the sense that he sounds like a real human being with a real interest and pride in the subject, gives you the feeling of a light hearted conversation with a stranger...”Read full review »

There’s no strong revisionist agenda here, yet at the same time there is no attempt to scrub away the ugly parts of history. A...”Read full review »

“Really late catching on but glad that I did. Just on episode 3 and I can’t wait to catch up.
Edit:
I caught up pretty quickly as the story of Philip & Alexander is already very captivating on it’s own, you tell it very well. I also love the additional focus philosophy.
Thank you from Las...”Read full review »
