Only just finished episode 1 and I’m hooked

I’m an American who’s never had a lot of curiosity about Europe or European history—perhaps least of all the part of Europe that would have been home to my own ancestry. But then I fell in love with and married a Frenchman, and have discovered, at 40, that I have such a treasure and a treat to be able to “discover” France; it’s people, it’s history, all of it. I just finished the first podcast and know that this will be an all day binge while I do my daily routine. I love the slow and gentle pacing, especially! I look forward to learning everything this historian has to say, and probably becoming a Patreon subscriber.

Typical Academic Falsehoods

This is a typical academic propaganda. They portray everything they agree with as the only thing that makes sense and all other ideas as absurd/evil. Then, they make the claim that they are “completely unbiased.” Safely inside the insular walls of academia they are free to besmirch and ridicule everyone with no fear of any meaningful pushback.

Do not know why people like it

This podcast is more like profanity of French history. If you interested in something more adequate keep searching.
