Enlightenment at its best
I’ll refrain to use the qualifier “historical” when I say this is one of the best produced and most important podcasts to anybody trying to understand the world. To reduce to a “history” podcast category is a tremendous disservice to Brad Harris’s work. The performance of the podcaster is sublime. The content itself reveals a significant and profound understanding of the topic at hand, the storytelling is tremendous, at the same level, if not even surpassing, giants such as Dan Carlin. Another very important thing to observe: this podcast focuses on the foundational principles of understanding the present, not on PRESENT events, and it does so in such an apolitical way that is highly appreciated. The author is not trying to sell an ideology or a dogma, rather it strives for a dispassionate and a more objective view of how things are and work the way they work at this junction in time. This podcast will greatly widen your perspective, makes you humble and bewildered of how little you know about the world and it’s guaranteed that you won’t see the world in the same way... and this is a good thing, for you will respect it more.

Serious history buff here. Since I was a pre-teen and now 72! Impressive research and great story telling. Check out the episode on coffee and get hooked! Consistently intelligent and entertaining.

There are interesting things here if you can get past the overwritten introductions and the maudlin vocal inflections. Lighten up, dude!
