Very solid podcast
I've listened to this podcast from the beginning, and I've concluded tha Shawn is a very good historian who analyzes his data before he draws his conclusions. While I my not always agree with him on all he says (I'm a believer in a strong national bank and respect Woodrow Wilson inspite of his character flaws), I find myself agreeing with Shawn more than I disagree with him. I fully agree with him on the concept of America as an empire and I really appreciate him using William Appleman Williams as one of his sources. I thought I was among the last dinosaurs who read Williams, but behold, there's at least one other person out there quoting Empire as a Way of Life and The Contours of American History. In hope that Shawn might also have read Williams' The Roots of the Modern American Empire and the seminal Tragedy of American Diplomacy, I'm proud to give Shawn a five-star rating. His Texas and lead up to the Mexican War episodes from Season Two and his early Season Three episodes on the turn of the 20th Century imperialism are rock solid episodes. Thanks, Shawn, keep up the good work and good luck with the PhD dissertation.Read full review »

I appreciate that the host immediately tells us his bias, so we know what kind of lens he is looking through as he presents. But he so thoroughly researches the topics beforehand, it doesn’t even show through! This podcast fulfills my hobby of learning about history

LOL what’s up with the random accent. And a poor effort at that.
