I could have learned as much if I skimmed Wikipedia. No personal touch, just a short article that happens to be read by somebody.

The one I listened to was the one about Theodore Roosevelt. The prof. lecturing let's you know right away that he is a BIG fan of extreme left progressivism. No thanks, I don't need the indoctrination. I hope you guys aren't planning on doing any of the president's between Lincoln and McKinley...Read full review »

I was looking forward to my first podcast of this, but in the first few sentences, the reader said the source for the information was Wikipedia and I was disappointed, because it isn't exactly the best place to get valid information, and I could've done that in my spare time anyway. Maybe if they...Read full review »

If it's all right with you to listen to someone read a Wikipedia article, go right ahead. I, for one, am horrified. From sentence to sentence, you never can trust the source. Was this line added by an uninformed undergraduate? Was that sentence inserted by a right-wing activist who wanted to...Read full review »

Horrible...beyond terrible. Using Wikipedia as your source material is pathetic. And the episodes are full of stops and starts...Would it kill them to learn how to edit out their mistakes?Read full review »

I listened to the first couple minutes of the one on T.R. and cut it off when I realized they were reading verbatim from the Wikipedia article.....weak.

...it would be nice if the narrators could pronounce the words correctly. You are reading from a script, right? Just take the time to get it right. Getting past that distraction, it is educational.

All they do is read Wikipedia entries, yet its entertaining and I hope they post more soon. The narrator who does the George Washington podcast should be brought back.

This series is an excellent way to provide high school students, as well as adults, in the digital age with additional learning opportunities. I shared these podcasts on CD as gifts for history buff friends of mine. Please continue to add to this series while maintaining the integrity of the...Read full review »

The Washington was good. The Jefferson--please find someone who knows how to pronounce the English language properly. There were about half a dozen howlers in the Jefferson piece (e.g. "electorial" as a previous reviewer pointed out). Also that piece had multiple places where it stopped and...Read full review »

This was a pleasant surprise to find - who couldn't stand to learn more about our Presidents? They just need to hurry up and get some new episodes out there. And to ditch the Thomas Jefferson podcast narrator - just a hint, my friend, it's "electoral college" not "electorial college"..... dag.
