Great premise, Terrible host

“Edit: Katie’s American bias is just so over the top in the latest episode on Castro: trying to hammer home this idea that he was manipulating his image, and ergo the only reason anyone could have supported him, ie just propaganda, while demonstrating how she (as she admits from the start!) has just eaten up the propaganda she grew up with! The guest even laughs when she busts out another rumor (every.episode.) about his wife, and she doubles down! Really great self awareness… /s
Love the premise & hosts are (mostly) enjoyable. However, the longer I listen the more the Boomer comes out of Katie, and it’s really annoying. I’m genuinely amazed she’s lived in the UK for the last 40 years; she’s more stereotypically American than I am, an American! And I don’t want to listen to what she’s “read somewhere” and ultimately winds up being some salacious rumor that sounds ignorant. Or crude jokes to fill space. Let the guest speak. Other critique is that I question whether they couldn’t haven’t gotten a better “expert” for a couple of the episodes (boxing Dude), but overall enjoyable history topics pulled from the song.”

“Bit of a gimmick but quite interesting. Bit outraged to hear one of the presenters describe Truman as a “mummy’s boy” and no one challenged this expression. This is not the 1940s and this kind of language doesn’t belong here. Minus one star for that.”

“I really wanted to like this podcast. I think it’s a great premise. I started with the Peyton Place episode, and the guest is ridiculous. She says, “You know” every 3 words. It is impossible to listen to.”

“But the constant attacks on President Trump became overwhelming by the time we hit Nixon that it became unlistenable. They need to get help for the Mir TDS.”
