“I used to love this podcast and get a particular rush of excitement every time that I saw a new episode drop but sadly no more . The scope of topics used to be broad and the contributors were , on the whole, excellent . Now the range of subjects has narrowed and seems dominated by identity politics. Write me off as a rabid Daily Mail reading ranter if you like ( I’m not..) but I am now bored of the Brit bashing . It’s got nothing to do with me being jingoistic or white fragility - it’s just reached the stage where the range of topics has become boringly predictable . Also it always makes me smile when the names of three producers are read out at the end of each show - with that many people working on each episode perhaps it should be possible to achieve some journalistic balance but apparently not - the recent episode on the Boer War was a classic example - failing to draw any link between Boer culture and history and apartheid - as ever , it was all Britain’s fault apparently . There is a whole fascinating , diverse world of history out there - please bring us some true diversity by telling us about amazing African, Asian and South American Empires and achievements rather than continually seeing everything through the prism of British colonialism .”
