“I’ve listened to a few of these and the topics are interesting but the guests are practically lecturing ad nauseum rather than having a conversation with the host. I find this style harder to follow than a more conversational approach.”

“Each succeeding episode seems like the best one I’ve listened to yet. I only “discovered” BFW some 43 podcasts ago but your format is eminently “binge-able.” Super guest list. I want to matriculate with a major in American History all over again.”

“This show has gone off on a weird tangent, far from where it started. Not really a history podcast anymore. More of a social commentary, mostly of race, ethnicity and gender. I listen to old episodes, but anything from the last year or so is uninteresting and unlistenable.”
