Great content

Love the hyper academic look at historical topics. However, where did you guys go? Did the Trump election ruin everything for you guys? Find it odd that episodes were consistent until the 2016 election.

Keep it up. Really enjoyed the BB “Ideological” historiography.

I found this podcast while they were on hiatus and am very glad they are back producing new episodes. Really insightful - a wonderful deep-dive on all things colonial America!
