I’ve been listening to this podcast for years, but recently it seems more ads have been inserted into the runtime. One minute, I'm a fly on the wall in a heated debate among Lincoln's cabinet, and the next I'm being shouted at to visit my local Nissan dealership. Talk about whiplash!...Read full review »

He does a good job of telling a concise history of each campaign however not sure I like the out of sequence events of the Civil War. For example why tell the story of the Chattanooga Campaign before the Battle of Chickamauga. I just started listening so I unscrambled the episodes to listen to in...Read full review »

The narrator engages the listener with his obvious passion and pathos for this era of our history. He additionally makes marked but minimal commentaries that make this history relevant to our times. I have yet to hear any of his podcast segments where I don’t learn something. As a long standing...Read full review »

Entertaining and engaging. Whether you are a novice historian or history buff, there's something here for you. The narrator's storytelling style is a blend of Ken Burns and Shelby Foote, in the best way. The episode "Let us have peace" moved me to tears. Bravo, Mr Kriger.Read full review »

I find myself wanting to know more about a particular battle or the politics of the day especially when I pass through a particular area.

As a civil war reenactor I’m very well versed in the history of the war and often unimpressed by podcasts on the subject. However, this is by far my favorite podcast. It is the perfect balance of facts and feelings and is absolutely captivating.

I like this pod a lot the narrator tells the stories like he was there in person and reported back to his newspaper. And this pod helps me to fill in the gaps from the swedish school system. We only scratch the surfice when it comes to the civil war in America
