“I love this podcast for the wide array of subjects, many of which I would never seek out on my own, or I didn’t know was a thing. From love and marriage in 14th century Western Europe to Women spies in WWII France. It’s also cool to hear about the actual research and leg work the Historians do in order to write their books and papers. I think it’s a good thing to be reminded of what makes an expert an expert, the importance of contemporary primary accounts of events, as well as a skepticism that should accompany those accounts, and the historical context in which they were created. As an American living in The South, it’s sort of comforting in a weird way to hear all of these things in action.”
