“Great to see evangelicals looking outward in Appalachia; unfortunately they are not considering the Catholic Church closely enough. Secular atheism is the natural progression of Protestantism. It’s understandable that adherents are moving away from it.”

They have many guests with good backgrounds to speak to their knowledge.The only thing that I can’t get past is the chisel to the brain when the two ladies speak and use the word “like” every three seconds as their...”Read full review »

“I recently discovered this podcast and I’ve listened to several episodes already—the host chooses fascinating topics I've either read very little about, or never encountered at all (and I like to think I consume a lot of media on history)! Definitely recommend giving it a listen.”Read full review »

“This is THE Russian history and culture podcast, but I think it would also be interesting for anyone interested in why the world looks like this today, the generally curious, and anyone who wants a very varied and interesting insight from experts on a poorly-reported part of the world.”

“Sean is a great interviewer and thorough with his own research and gathering info on his guest and their subjects. Its a good balance between the different eras of Russia (Muscovy, Imperial, Soviet, Modern, etc.) and he does well to examine areas that do not garner much attention, such as what...”Read full review »

“Excellent podcast on a fascinating subject. Particularly enjoy topics having to do with the Soviet Union and contemporary Russian society and politics. More podcasts on post-Soviet Russia would be great—anything to cut through the propaganda in the USA.”

“Sean’s Russia Blog is a must-listen for anybody who wishes to learn! The episode topics are so varied, but every guest brings some new facet of knowledge and expertise to the microphone. I’ve learned so much, and value the unbiased and rich source of education available through this show. Thank you!”

“I've never been to Russia, but have had an amateur interest since high school. This blog does a great job of discussing real current issues thoughtfully with qualified people.
