Right off the bat, the first episode is politically charged

“Not three minutes in and we get our first veiled Trump reference.
I’m sorry, but I don’t want to hear about how a podcast was created in haste because the creator disliked the rhetoric of an unnamed but obvious presidential candidate. I want to feel like I’m listening to a well planned show, not something that was started in a rush because of prisoner-of-the-moment, reactionary politics.
I understand that we can learn lessons from history, and that there are parallels in history everywhere, but I get enough exposure to politics on my phone, computer, tv, and from my coworkers. We are literally saturated in it. Your listeners should be able to escape into a historical time and place and then draw their own conclusions about their own lives. The heavy-handedness is tiring.
Also, I understand that history departments are very much skewed to the left, but the best history podcasts out there—Hardcore History, History on Fire, and to a lesser extent, Our Fake History—are good because they feel so authentically personalized and unbiased. I know we all bring our own views and beliefs to the table in every aspect of our lives, but when starting a business venture, you need to keep in mind that others will have different viewpoints than you, and you are turning off a decent percentage of your listeners by starting so opinionated from the very first minutes of the very first episode.”

“I’m not even going to bother listening to any of these podcasts, because of the ramp it adds I hear about it almost on repeat other sites.”
