Best. Freaking. Podcast. Ever,
I always wanted to be a history and theatre teacher and listening to Greg reminds me of why. I love that the team strives for perfection and in the epilogues correct any mistakes that have been found (Mobile is my fav). That reach to be perfect while acknowledging the human moments make this podcast perfect. The way he conveys the good, the bad, and the mediocre qualities of historical figures gives a depth to history that was missing in my textbooks. It’s difficult to recognize when we as a society are repeating a pattern that historically led to the dark side if the people aren’t accurately portrayed. As someone who was raised Mormon and left the church but still has family who are active members, I appreciate how Greg told the history of the pioneers. I either hear a sanitized version where the Mormons did no wrong and were persecuted for no reason; or I get a version where the good guys ran off that no good cult of weirdos. Both frustrate me beyond belief. It was refreshing to not only hear about the awful things done to the Mormons, but what unjustifiable actions Mormons were responsible for as well. And to hear Moroni pronounced correctly was a balm to my tattered, neurotic, soul. Thank you for being the first to tell me a fair and much more complete story about the people who made our country what it is. I’ve been binging this podcast exclusively for the last week and thus far the epilogues are my jam. I’ll listen a 2nd and 3rd time when I need a laugh. Y’all have the perfect amount of sarcastic banter. If you read this far you’re a saint. I got a bit rambly. You’re amazeballs

The narrator makes it fun, hip and most of all relatable so you get a real understanding of what was really going on. If you want a...Read full review »

Just found this podcast. Right now I’m binging 😬🇺🇸 I had a very good history teacher back in the day but it’s wonderful to hear the stories told in such an interesting way. Thank you, Prof, I’ll keep listening and share the word.
