“I've been listening to this podcast for over a decade, and I've lost count of the time it's sent me straight to the library to read more from one of the featured historians.

“Seems ridiculous to not have this in a format that allows for disagreements. Would love for this to have been 2 scholars of differing opinions instead of 1 agreeing with himself. Not gonna bother with the rest of this series.”

“Danny Bird talks about Stalin (Jan 2024). Bird talks about the Holodomor as if it was a side-effect of collectivisation - but it was actually a purposeful genocide. The Gulag slavery is mentioned, but no real details about the millions murdered or forcably transferred in other NKVD “actions”....”Read full review »

“Consuelo was the daughter of William and Alva Vanderbilt. Not Cornelius. She was the great granddaughter of the founder of the family fortune: Cornelius. Some might credit Mark Twain for coining the term the Gilded Age, co- author of a novel titled as such”
