“This was such a wonderful podcast! Unlike some where itโs kind of a drab and struggle to endure. The narrator definitely makes it very enjoyable to follow along and adds a little bit of spice to the details. Highly entertaining and highly enjoyable. Get your popcorn ready this podcast is...”Read full review »

“I was initially excited to hear his take on Chinese history. However, within the first 11 minutes, the narrator referred to the time before Christ(BC) as before common era (BCE). The birth of Christ is a major historical fact upon which all human history is measured, regardless of who you believe...”Read full review »

“Your telling of the history of the lands that we now consider and accept as China going back some 5000 years with very little concrete real evidence to go on but nothing that anyone else could dispute is utterly compelling. However this is enhanced even further by your featuring of the great Khan...”Read full review »

“You have got a great show. But I cannot listen anymore. The commercials are so loud!!! They are very disturbing. I donโt mind ads, and I get it, itโs a revenue stream. But, youโve got to find a way to equalize the volume of your podcast and the commercials during your podcasts.”
