Customer Reviews
Thanks .... Really Enjoyed Listening!
I was able to download them, but now I see the dates on the ones I downloaded are different from the dates up there today -- perhaps you re-posted them and the link got lost? Anyway -- really enjoyed listening and looking forward to lots more! You did a great job of providing the right amount of context along with contemporaneous reports.
Great listening, so far
Only the second podcast is out so far. I'm very interested in Medieval history and there's just not enough out there on podcasts. Not only does this help fill a void, but it's good too. Topics are interesting and just about the right depth and length. The podcast production is well done, too. I hope this continues for a long time for many more podcasts.
Awesome!!
Very interesting, very informative. Keep up the great work!
