Middling podcast poorly delivered
Cadence and speech: The presenter speaks far to fast, inexplicably whispers in numerous episodes, swallows his consonants, and slurs his way through multi syllable words. It is a chore to process his speech. Source material: At least a half of each episode is the presenter reading source material verbatim rather than synthesis of the material he has read. This is terribly boring to listen to. When he does speak in his own voice he does a fairly good job presenting his analysis but with an air of irreverence that quickly becomes tired and unprofessional. Pronunciation: The presenter fails to assign the right sounds to the right letters in Polish place names. While learning proper pronunciation is very hard - and I wouldn't expect him to learn Polish for a podcast series - you can get a basic handle on the alphabet in a day. If he hasnt done this most basic research before embarking on a sixty episode podcast it brings into question the rest of his research. (His reading of Wrocław is a particularly galling example) Picture a Polish podcaster of American history referencing “Nev Uork” and “Tsonetsitsoot” instead of New York and Connecticut - you would doubt their command of the material.Read full review »

I have found these episodes very helpful. I recently discovered my Polish ancestry and this podcast is helping me learn about the country my ancestors called home. Thank you for doing this; keep up the great work.

An astoundingly thoughtful, engaging, and well done way to learn about unsung Polska. It’s vivid, fun, and easily digestible—a journey you’ll find yourself eager to continue. Doskonaly!
