A gem that utterly destroys the oxymoron of „fun German History“
Who would have believed ? German History CAN be fun. You just shouldn‘t leave it to the scholars ! Episodes are well researched - and Dirk‘s tongue-in-cheek humour (that makes one seriously doubt his nationality) turns something that would otherwise be a dull educational exercise into enthralling entertainment. Let‘s put it this way: you can perhaps fathom the quality of this podcast when I tell you that it motivated me, known to be stingier than a Swabian, to finally sign up for Patreon and pay for a subscription as long as I will listen to further episodes. Quality content required recognition - and the production quality of this podcast can serve as a textbook case of „deserving recognition“ ! Really looking forward to many more episodes.
