I could listen to Aaron all day

Love the structure and delivery of these bite-sized factual stories. Obscure topics related with equal parts fact and whimsy, Aaron makes learning history fun and interesting. Thank you!

Great sleeping material

Some of the stories are interesting and I love the shortness of the episodes, but I find that the way the stories are told is not enough to keep me captured and most of the time I fall asleep!

Siggy Burzum ,

Bite sized

Short and sweet facts and stories with the quality and attention to detail I've come to expect from anything this man turns his hand to. Wonderful.
