Structure please!
I have been enjoying this, but it is not the podcast to make you literate in German history if you don’t already have a good idea about it. For example, #50 assumes one knows about Prussia, its culture and how it came to be. Whereas one probably has just a caricature in mind. (Btw, #50 has moments of hilarity which had people on the streets of Lagos turning to look when I laughed out loud, but still ...) Travis clearly knows his subject really well, but only about 50% of what is running through his head seems to make it into the podcast, so episodes come across as disjointed. Informality and pop culture references are fine, and I learned to live with ‘anyways’, but so many references to ‘spoiler alert!’, what ‘we’re going to get to’ and unfinished sentences ... make it stop! Please! I came to realise that I enjoyed the early shows because - due to listening to other history podcasts - I could put what Travis was talking about into context. Having come this far, I will continue to the last episode (October 2019), but hoping for more chronology and coherence if and when the series resumes.

Not only does this clown play loose and fast with facts (“whatever, don’t sue me”), he excuses Luther’s murderous and devastatingly destructive anti-Semitism as a simple character flaw. Only his pronounced anti-catholic bias is more palpable than his mealymouthed hero worship of Luther. He seems...Read full review »
