Strangely short on history
Came to this with high expectations that haven’t been met in the first few episodes. It really skims quickly over the Coles notes of historical events and quickly moves on to talk about present day implications. Please, a little more historical detail and colour! And more obscure events. UPDATE: Bernie Sanders, “difficult to pin down and not sure where he would land on issues”? Uh, what? Not an outright supporter, but Bernie has been one of the most consistent and predictable politicians of the last three decades. UPDATE: “Coya Come Home” is actually esoterica! This is showing more promise... UPDATE: Hands Across America... and the first question is, could it happen today? And the answer is, no, we’re fractured! (Deep, revelatory...) Maybe get into the history?! UPDATE: I tried, but I’m out. This is obsessed with making comparisons to the present day. The guest brings absolutely zero to the table.

More reviews of This Day in Esoteric Political History
Makes history bite sized and enjoyable, like a gummy vitamin! I feel like I’m learning something useful and enjoy it

Unique historical conversations that draw connections with modern issues. Admittedly I'm a huge US history buff, but I think this could be fun even if you've never heard of the topics discussed. If anything, I'd suggest they find even more "esoteric" stories to tell.Read full review »
