This podcast is just fine.It's your intro to history by a well-read and thorough host. The stories are accurate and historically vast, but the storytelling is less than epic.

A little bit of punch, a little reflection, a little more excitement is needed to 5 star this solid show.3.5 / 5 Rumpelstiltskin's spinning wheels
