A lot of great episodes and few clunkers
This is one of the better history pods. The host is engaging and well-versed on each topic. I try to listen to each episode - including the few where I find myself in personal disagreement with. Today was one of the episodes I took great issue with - the interview about the legacy of Robert E Lee. I think the host could have asked more probing questions. I don’t need the lens of critical race theory to perfectly understand that Lee was a traitor to the country. Would most Americans be pleased with giant statues of Benedict Arnold proudly presented in town squares across Southern America? This episode was an advertisement for the Lost Cause. The guest’s comment about CRT to dismiss modern criticisms of Lee were especially galling and unquestioned by the host. One doesn’t need to view American history from a CRT lens to understand that Lee was a traitor. Period. I’ll continue to listen in each week, but with slightly less anticipation. You are typically much better than this.
