“I have enjoyed learning history by listening to this podcast. The guests are experts in their fields, and usually interesting and engaging.
The hosts are good, but this is where there is room for improvement: one of the hosts, Oded, constantly interrupts the guests, thus breaking the flow of the narrative. Very distracting, to no good purpose. Oded likes to say things that demonstrate how much he knows about the subject at hand, usually pertaining to various factoids about names and places. Does he make sure to read Wikipedia before every episode? There is no room for showing off on a podcast, and his attempts at “humor” are cringe-worthy.
Happily the other regular and guest hosts are very good, making intelligent comments and asking intelligent questions that shape a good conversation with the guest speakers.
In sum, I do recommend the podcast, but would enjoy it more without Oded’s antics.”
