“My favorite podcast. The guy who runs it is a brilliant, articulate, and balanced expositor of history and its relevance today. Many of the last few months' episodes have featured 'politics' in the sense that they address current events, but always in the context of history: How does McCain's compaign compare to Lincoln?

He's got an encyclopedic knowledge of historical facts -- but he doesn't toss them around to impress, only to educate. He talks like an academic and is careful and balanced -- this isn't an AM radio talk show.
