“David Parsons, before you interview someone like Jared Yates Sexton, maybe you should actually read his book. Your entire interview was basically you trying to interject how much you know about the real history of America because you teach a civil rights class, but you end up sounding like a...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast! It’s such a breath of fresh as David Parsons is a brilliant historian and interviewer whose interviews expose me to some of the most thought provoking and mind expanding thinkers on the Left. I can’t get enough of this podcast.”

“The episode about Falling Down was very interesting and the best discussion I’ve ever heard or read on the subject. That said, the host should take a long hard look at his lack of understanding or compassion for the few women in such a film and the issues they may face/represent, which may not...”Read full review »

“Great episode w Ken Layne but you should do your research on Daniel Pinchbeck. He’s admitted to raping and drugging women since at least 2013. It’s common knowledge since 2017.”

“I don’t agree with the host on anything related to politics or economics, but his take on pop culture is interesting and usually entertaining. Most guests are interesting too.
However, this podcast would be much more enjoyable if the host didn’t say “like” so much. When he gets excited, every...”Read full review »

There's nothing like it: conversations with historians (usually) and their lives on the left that touch on every aspect of the contemporary United States and the world, to the point...”Read full review »

“This has come to be one of my favorite podcasts. I love that David delves into the background of the guests that he has on. There's something deeply illuminating and human in finding out where someone comes from, how they grew up, what their ideas were and how they changed over time. It...”Read full review »

Unlike a lot of political podcasts, David puts things in a historical perspective and he always seems to have a really good rapport with his interviewees, which makes me feel like I’m at a party with some really smart and interesting guests. ...”Read full review »
