“Great overall podcast. My only beef is the anti trump bias in particular. (And no, I don’t like trump either). This is a history podcast. Best to let the speech of morons “speak” for themselves.”

“I was hesitant to add this podcast when I saw the history channel stamp because I've seen their leftist bias in their other history programs but I thought maybe there's a chance you were a true historian instead of a political hack. I was disappointed to hear your bias in the very first...”Read full review »

“My belief, you give Reagan too much credit. He was barely a good actor in the end, he was a racist, misogynistic, homophobic, narcissist, antisemite moron comedian. We all love a good comedian. He propelled the decline of the Republican Party and worse the rise of white nationalist...”Read full review »
