He brings his religion into too many episodes
I didn’t subscribe to the podcast but it was often “recommended” because of my other listening choices, so it would come into rotation when I let the algorithms select my shows. The shows were great - informative, well produced, and engaging. This guy definitely knows his history. But then in one episode, there was a mention of the Mormon religion in an episode that I didn’t think would have anything to do with the topic. I thought it kind of odd but let it pass. Listening to other episodes and it happened again and again. Having grown up in Salt Lake City as a non-Mormon and surrounded by Mormons, I had a hunch something was up and so I did an internet search. Sure enough, Utah Valley University and I have to assume a Mormon - sorry, member of The Church of Latter Day Saints. If you’re going to be a historian, you need to be as neutral and unbiased as a person can be. I don’t think you’ll get that view from this podcast. He definitely has filters that he colors history based on his mention and influence from outside forces. Too bad! It’s a good podcast otherwise.

I have always been a history buff and often take long trips with my children who are also interested in history. This podcast has kept us entertained for many of hours on the road.
