“I really like the historical podcast and you really put things in perspective for our modern ears! You made correction to Boone actually being a slave owner. I was disappointed as well to hear that news, however more context on what could have surrounded this development would be helpful. He had...”Read full review »

“So much can be learned from how worlds meet. I’ve spent hours on long car rides listening to the balanced delivery of the tales of so many explorers. Series suggestion: David Livingstone.”

“I started listening to this podcast bc I’m fascinated by Spanish conquistadores. I wanted to stick to that subject but I found that other podcasts didn’t offer a quality experience, even if it was a subject I loved.
So I came back to this podcast and listened to any and every subject, even if...”Read full review »

“Brilliant pods. The humble way it’s presented only adds to the package. No preaching but pure joy in sharing knowledge and research.
I only wish there were more but the amount of research must take time and it’s worth the wait.
More time for me to relisten to past episodes.
Thanks and keep up...”Read full review »

“Started with the Magellan series which was excellent and Lewis/Clark kept to that standard! The Shackleton series was fantastic. Fills in the very general awareness i had without getting too deep in the weeds of detail or controversy, which is acknowledged when needed.”
