“Dr. Metzger’s podcast is a singular and most important contribution to literature and history. In a world where academic knowledge is conspicuously silent and people get most of their information from uneducated bloggers, it is a breath of fresh air to get an actual PhD to teach about literature and history. I have come across other podcasts run by historians. However, the information has sadly been biased by personal beliefs, and processed to coddle our modern sensibilities. Dr. Metgzer does what a true historian should: tell us what happened, guide us with an informed perspective, and otherwise let us make sense of it all. His through and entertaining review of the literature and robust resources on the website help me develop my own reading list. He doesn’t stop there. Instead of unrehearsed rants, he gives us very well-produced shows with professional-quality audio. Just when I thought young people no longer cared about classic literature or history, here is Dr. Metzger, making learning fun without watering down the content. I have already donated to his podcast, and will continue to do so.”
