“To be honest, this podcast was something I stumbled upon a few years ago when I was just beginning to get into podcasts. From the moment I finished my first episode, I knew that this was something genuinely special. I’ve yet to find another podcast capable of turning obscure moments in history into engaging narratives at such a high caliber of quality. The topics of each episode feel well researched, with sources read verbatim which give a deeper sense of the impacts these events had on the people associated.
I’m sad to hear that this podcast has reached its end, as all good things do, but that shouldn’t let that stop you from taking a listen. I’ll be forever thankful to the Futility Closet Podcast for filling my uneventful days with wonderful stories from the pages of history.”
