I don’t know what to think
I’m interested in history and the cold war is something I know little about. So I started listening to this pod along with some others. It seems like it’s factual and I picked up early on that the host has some conservative “views” if thats the way to put it. Now, I don't necessarily think its a horrible thing to have a minor conservative or liberal take on things and if presented properly the listener can understand that and still enjoy and get something out of the podcast. And that is what I have been doing. From what I can gather from my limited history knowledge it appears that much of the information being presented is factual. I have fact checked a few things and found it this was. But Im certainly not able to fact check it all. I was ok with this until I started getting “anti woke “ toned advertising and thats when I started to wonder if this pod was on the up and up. People can debate or have opinions about “wokeness” , im not here for that and im not listening to a HISTORICAL cold war podcast to have to listen to politically motivated advertisements. In this world of political lunacy I turn to other sources of information such as what I hope are simply factual history programs, but unfortunately it seems difficult to avoid the toxic political cancer of our times. Everyone is so worried about their political party so much that we are poisoning every aspect of our society with this stuff. It saddens me. Note im not criticizing conservatism, nor liberalism , im criticizing the seemingly endless need for us as a society to throw it all away because of politics. I will still listen to this pod, hopefully it won’t stray too far off course, and if it does I will stop. C’mon people can we stop this political nonsense? it’s killing us as a nation and most likely has done so much damage to our society that we may never be able to pull ourselves out of this nose dive. Oh, I forgot to mention the “anti woke” candy bar add. It’s kinda funny, but then you are reminded how toxic our world has become from both political agendas, this is whats important to people?. If it weren’t so sad it would be laughable how childish our politics have become. All I wanted was to enjoy some history, and can’t fully do that because of the nonsense.Read full review »

More reviews of The Cold War
It’s now been 50 years since we didn’t go to the moon. This act alone cemented America as the greatest country on earth. We faked a moon landing and nobody can ever take that away from us.

Packed with history, engaging and witty. Listened to the first one and am now watching 1 and 2 on YouTube with my boys.

Listened twice to part one and can hardly wait for the rest. Very well done and certainly holds your attention. I learned a lot of information that I hadn’t known before and an appreciation of the bravery it took. Great podcast!
