Dear G-d, make it stop
As a trained historian who has taught Jewish history at the college level, I couldn’t get past the first few minutes on Josephus. The proposition here is that one person will study a topic “in depth” as much as they can for — how long? — and then throw bullet points onto this podcast? Just no. No mention that Josephus’s writings survived because he was writing about the Jews for his Roman masters, who btw had just destroyed the Jewish homeland. Nothing about those writings having been preserved by the Christian church, not by Jews? Ugh. This is literally painful. And the vocal fry is so thick in the one podcaster’s voice that they sound like they’re croaking. You’re not unpacking anything. Taking a hard pass on this one.
